Vajjiputtattheragāthā

Vajjiputta (1st)

“Ekakā mayaṁ araññe viharāma,
We dwell alone in the wilderness,

Apaviddhaṁva vanasmiṁ dārukaṁ;
like a log rejected in a forest.

Tassa me bahukā pihayanti,
Lots of people are jealous of me,

Nerayikā viya saggagāminan”ti.
as beings in hell are of one going to heaven.

… Vajjiputto thero ….
