Verses of the Senior Monks 2.35
The Book of the Twos
Chapter Four
Sambulakaccāna
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.
This is my normal state
while staying alone in a frightful hole:
I’ve no fear,
no dread, no goosebumps.
