The Book of the Twos

Kassapa the Prince

1 Oh, the Buddhas! Oh, the Dhammas!

Oh, the accomplishments of the Teacher!

Here a disciple may realize

such a teaching for themselves.

2 Through countless eons

they obtained substantial forms.

This is their last,

their very final body

in the transmigration through births and deaths;

now there’ll be no more future lives.
