Subrahma Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna

Subrahma, the son of the gods, standing on a side, said this stanza in the presence of the Blessed One:


 * "Am, always frightened, my mind is always agitated,
 * Whether anything has happened or not happened.
 * If there is a not terrified state, tell me that."


 * "Not other than by developing the enlightenment factors, and austerities,
 * Not other than by the control of the mental faculties
 * Not other than by giving up everything,
 * A not terrified state for living things could be seen."

Saying that, the deity, vanished from there.
