Nymphs

1 “It’s resounding with a group of nymphs,

but haunted by a gang of goblins!

This grove is called ‘Deluding’.

How will I keep going?”

2 “That path is called ‘the direct way’,

and it’s headed for the place called ‘fearless’.

The chariot is called ‘unswerving’,

fitted with wheels of the teaching.

3 Conscience is its bench-back,

mindfulness its upholstery.

I say the teaching is the driver,

with right view running out in front.

4 Any woman or man

who has such a vehicle,

by means of this vehicle

has drawn near to extinguishment.”
