Four Wheels
Catucakkasutta
EN“Four are its wheels, and nine its doors; it’s stuffed full, bound with greed, and born from a bog. Great hero, how will I keep going?”
PL“Catucakkaṁ navadvāraṁ, puṇṇaṁ lobhena saṁyutaṁ; Paṅkajātaṁ mahāvīra, kathaṁ yātrā bhavissatī”ti.
EN“Having cut the strap and harness— the wicked desire and greed— and having plucked out craving, root and all: that’s how you will keep going.”
PL“Chetvā naddhiṁ varattañca, icchā lobhañca pāpakaṁ; Samūlaṁ taṇhamabbuyha, evaṁ yātrā bhavissatī”ti.
