Theragāthā — Versos dos Monges Anciãos — 2.37 — Soṇapoṭiriya
Ler no Une Sacra1Night, with her garland of stars,
is not only for sleeping.
For those who know,
this night is really for waking.
2Were I to fall from the back of an elephant,
trampled by the tuskers that follow,
better for me to die in battle,
than to live on in defeat.
