Filled with lust and bold, just as fire consumes all;

Having left them, I shall go forth, cultivating seclusion.

But that region I do not see, from where I might bring a brother."

The Birth Story of Sāketa

In whom the mind settles, and the consciousness becomes clear;

Even in a person never seen before, one surely trusts in him.

The Birth Story of Sāketa, the eighth.

The Birth Story of the One Who Vomits Poison

Shame on that vomited poison, which I, for the sake of life;

Would swallow back again once vomited, death is better for me than life.

That conquest is not well conquered, which conquest is undone;

That conquest is indeed well conquered, which conquest is not undone.

Sikhī, All-Devourer, and Lute-Excellent, Divisive, Friend-Breaking, Delight, River;
