- notes
- synopsis
- Reader of the sutras/questions: 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.
