SN2:16 Vasudatta
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi. (More copyright information)
1Standing to one side, the young deva Vasudatta recited this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:
2v.301 "As if smitten by a sword,
As if his head were on fire,
A bhikkhu should wander mindfully
To abandon sensual lust."
3v.302 "As if smitten by a sword,
As if his head were on fire,
A bhikkhu should wander mindfully
To abandon identity view."

sato bhikkhu paribbaje"ti.
3"Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho,
ḍayhamānova matthake;
Sakkāyadiṭṭhippahānāya,
sato bhikkhu paribbaje"ti.
