Kumāputtasahāyakattheragāthā

Kumāputtasahāyaka

“Nānājanapadaṁ yanti,
Some travel to different countries,

Vicarantā asaññatā;
wandering undisciplined.

Samādhiñca virādhenti,
If they lose their meditation,

Kiṁsu raṭṭhacariyā karissati;
what will such rotten conduct achieve?

Tasmā vineyya sārambhaṁ,
So you should dispel aggression,

Jhāyeyya apurakkhato”ti.
practicing absorption undistracted.

… Kumāputtattherassa sahāyako thero ….
