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.
