Erakattheragāthā  Eraka

“Dukkhā kāmā eraka,  Sensual pleasures are suffering, Eraka!
Na sukhā kāmā eraka;  Sensual pleasures aren’t happiness, Eraka!
Yo kāme kāmayati,  One who enjoys sensual pleasures
Dukkhaṁ so kāmayati eraka;  enjoys suffering, Eraka!
Yo kāme na kāmayati,  One who doesn’t enjoy sensual pleasures
Dukkhaṁ so na kāmayati erakā”ti.  doesn’t enjoy suffering, Eraka!

… Erako thero ….
