Vasabhattheragāthā Vasabha
“Pubbe hanati attānaṁ, First one kills oneself,
pacchā hanati so pare; then one kills others.
Suhataṁ hanti attānaṁ, One kills oneself, really dead,
vītaṁseneva pakkhimā. like one who kills birds using a dead bird as a decoy.
Na brāhmaṇo bahivaṇṇo, A brahmin’s color is not on the outside;
anto vaṇṇo hi brāhmaṇo; a brahmin is colored on the inside.
Yasmiṁ pāpāni kammāni, Whoever harbors bad deeds
sa ve kaṇho sujampatī”ti. is truly a dark one, Sujampati.
… Vasabho thero …
vaggo paṭhamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Uttaro ceva piṇḍolo,
valliyo tīriyo isi;
Ajino ca meḷajino,
rādho surādho gotamo;
Vasabhena ime honti,
dasa therā mahiddhikāti.
