A Sword
At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“Like they’re struck by a sword,
like their head was on fire,
a mendicant, mindful, should go forth,
to give up sensual desire.”
“Like they’re struck by a sword,
like their head was on fire,
a mendicant, mindful, should go forth,
to give up substantialist view.”
