Psalms of the Sisters XII: Dhammadinnā

by The Sisters of the Therigatha traditionally 6th–5th century BCE; composition uncertain

Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1909) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists I: Psalms of the Sisters (1909)

Religion

In whom desire to reach the final rest
Is born suffusing all the mind of her,
Whose heart by lure of sense-desire no more
Is held–BOUND
UPSTREAM:–so shall she be called.
