Living at Ease: a past life story
“Yañca aññe na rakkhanti,
He who is not guarded by others,
yo ca aññe na rakkhati;
and who does not guard others,
Sa ve rāja sukhaṁ seti,
truly sleeps at ease, O king,
kāmesu anapekkhavā”ti.
unconcerned for sensual pleasures.
Sukhavihārijātakaṁ dasamaṁ.
Apaṇṇakavaggo paṭhamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Varāpaṇṇaka vaṇṇupatha serivaro,
Suvicakkhaṇa taṇḍulanāḷikassā;
Hiri puttavaruttagāmaṇinā,
Yo ca na rakkhati tena dasāti.
