Chapter Four

Kappaṭakura

This chap, “Rag-rice”, he sure is a rag!
Into the vase of freedom from death, <j>polished and overflowing,
sufficient teaching has been poured;
the path to build up absorptions has been laid out.

Don’t nod off, Rag—
I’ll smack your ear!
You know no limit,
nodding off in the midst of the Saṅgha!
