Siṅgāla’s Father
“Ahu buddhassa dāyādo, There was an heir of the Buddha,
bhikkhu bhesakaḷāvane; a monk in Bhesakaḷā forest,
Kevalaṁ aṭṭhisaññāya, who suffused the entire earth
apharī pathaviṁ imaṁ;
with the perception of bones.
Maññehaṁ kāmarāgaṁ so, I think he will quickly
khippameva pahissatī”ti.
get rid of sensual desire.
