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