Verses of the Senior Monks 1.7
The Book of the Ones
Chapter One
Bhalliya
He has cast aside the army of the King of Death,
as a fragile bridge of reeds by a great flood.
Victorious since his fears have vanished:
tame and steadfast, he has become quenched.
That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Bhalliya.
