Verses of the Senior Monks 2.35

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Four

Sambulakaccāna

1 The heavens rain, the heavens pour,

I’m staying alone in a frightful hole.

But while I’m staying alone in that frightful hole,

I’ve no fear, no dread, no goosebumps.

2 This is my normal state

while staying alone in a frightful hole:

I’ve no fear,

no dread, no goosebumps.
