1 Having stood at one side, Vasudatta, son of the devas spoke this verse in the Auspicious One's presence:

“As if strucked with a sword,
or [hair] on the head is in flames;
a bhikkhu should wander about mindfully,
for abandoning sensual lust.”

(The Auspicious One:) “As if strucked with a sword,
or [hair] on the head is in flames;
a bhikkhu should wander about mindfully,
for abandoning self-affirmation view.”
