KN 1.16PTS: Thag 1-120excerpt
Single Verses
Translated from the Pāli by Hellmuth Hecker & Sister Khema
Belatthasisa (Thag 1.16) {v. 16}
[Alternate translation: Thanissaro.]
Just as the noble buffalo
With hairy neck can pull the plough
With little effort, step by step,
So do I let the time flow by
With little effort, day by day,
When joy untainted has been won.
