Canto I.
Psalms of Single Verses

CXI
Jenta's Dilemma

Translated from the Pāḷi
by
Michael M. Olds

[Pāḷi][pts][than]

 

Hard to break, the ties to birth —
But hard is household life to bear;
Fearsome-deep the Dhamma —
But difficult great wealth to gain;
Which-which the Way?
Say ...
heart-strings yoked to ceaseless change.
