Piṇḍolabhāradvājattheragāthā

“Nayidaṁ anayena jīvitaṁ, Nāhāro hadayassa santiko; Āhāraṭṭhitiko samussayo, Iti disvāna carāmi esanaṁ.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Bhāradvāja the Alms-Gatherer

You can’t live by fasting, but food doesn’t lead to peace of heart. Seeing how this bag of bones is sustained by food, I wander, seeking.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Paṅkoti hi naṁ pavedayuṁ, Yāyaṁ vandanapūjanā kulesu; Sukhumaṁ sallaṁ durubbahaṁ, Sakkāro kāpurisena dujjaho”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

They know it’s just a swamp, this homage and veneration in respectable families. Honor is a subtle dart, hard to extract, and hard for a reprobate to give up.
