Bharatattheragāthā

from: The Book of the Twos

Chapter Three

Bharata

Come, Nandaka, let’s go
to visit our preceptor.
We’ll roar our lion’s roar
before the best of Buddhas.

The sage gave us the going forth
out of compassion, so we could realize
the ending of all fetters—
now we have reached that goal.
