notes
synopsis
Reader of the sutras: Sw Ananda Teertha.
The sutra
One man denies truth.
Another denies his own actions.
Both go into the dark
And in the next world suffer
For they offend truth.
Wear the yellow robe.
But if you are reckless
You will fall into darkness.
If you are reckless,
Better to swallow molten iron
Than to eat at the table of good folk.
If you court another man's wife
You court trouble.
Your sleep is broken.
You lose your honor.
You fall into darkness.
You go against the law,
You go into the dark.
Your pleasures end in fear
And the king's punishment is harsh.
But as a blade of grass held awkwardly
May cut your hand,
So renunciation may lead you into the dark.
