Aṅguttara Nikāya - The Numerical Discourses

4: The Book of the Fours

120. Perils (2)

1"Bhikkhus, there are these four perils. What four? The peril of fire, the peril of floods, the peril of kings, and the peril of bandits. These are the four perils."

1"Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, bhayāni. Katamāni cattāri? Aggibhayaṁ, udakabhayaṁ, rājabhayaṁ, corabhayaṁ – imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri bhayānī"ti.


Dasamaṁ.
Kesivaggo dutiyo.

2Kesi javo patodo ca,
Nāgo ṭhānena pañcamaṁ;
Appamādo ca ārakkho,
Saṁvejanīyañca dve bhayāti.
