Verses of the Senior Monks 1.5

The Book of the Ones

Chapter One

Dabba

1 Once hard to tame, now tamed himself;

proficient, content, with doubt overcome;

victorious since his fears have vanished:

Dabba is steadfast, and has become fully quenched.

That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Dabba.
