Verses of the Senior Monks 2.41

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Five

Kassapa the Prince

Oh, the Buddhas! Oh, the Dhammas!
Oh, the accomplishments of the Teacher!
Here a disciple may realize
such a teaching for themselves.

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.
