Verses of the Senior Monks 2.37

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Four

Soṇapoṭiriya

1 Night, with her garland of stars,

is not only for sleeping.

For those who know,

this night is really for waking.

2 Were I to fall from the back of an elephant,

trampled by the tuskers that follow,

better for me to die in battle,

than to live on in defeat.
