Verses of the Senior Monks 2.22

The Book of the Twos

Chapter Three

Bhaddaji

There was a king named Panāda
who had a sacrificial post all golden.
Its height was sixteen times its width,
and the top was a thousandfold.

It had a thousand panels and a hundred ball-caps,
all adorned with banners, and made of sun gold.
There danced the centaurs,
numbering seven times six thousand.
