Sabbamitta
“Jano janamhi sambaddho,
People are attached to people;
janamevassito jano;
people depend on people;
Jano janena heṭhīyati,
people are hurt by people;
heṭheti ca jano janaṁ.
and people hurt people.
Ko hi tassa janenattho,
So what’s the point of people,
janena janitena vā;
or those born of people?
Janaṁ ohāya gacchaṁ taṁ,
Go, abandon these people,
heṭhayitvā bahuṁ janan”ti.
who’ve hurt so many people.
… Sabbamitto thero ….
