Theragāthā 132

Verses of the Senior Monks 2.12

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Two

Jotidāsa

1 People who act harshly—

attacking people,

binding them with rope,

hurting them in all kinds of ways—

they’re treated in the same way;

their deeds don’t vanish.

2 Whatever deeds a person does,

whether good or bad,

they are the heir to each

and every deed they do.
