Bhalliya

Bhalliyattheragāthā

from: The Book of the Ones

Chapter One

Bhalliya

He has cast aside the army of the King of Death,
as a fragile bridge of reeds by a great flood.
Victorious since his fears have vanished:
tame and steadfast, he has become quenched.

That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Bhalliya.
