Standing to one side, the god Vāsudatta recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho vāsudatto devaputto bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

“Like they’re struck by a sword,

“Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho,

like their head was on fire,

ḍayhamānova matthake;

a bhikkhu should wander mindful,

Kāmarāgappahānāya,

to give up sensual desire.”

sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti.

“Like they’re struck by a sword,

“Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho,

like their head was on fire,

ḍayhamānova matthake;

a bhikkhu should wander mindful,

Sakkāyadiṭṭhippahānāya,

to give up identity view.”

sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti.
