Thag 4.8 PTS: Thag 295-298- Rahula
In both ways consummate, I'm known as Rahula the Fortunate: because I'm the son of the Buddha, because I've the eye that sees Dhammas, because my fermentations are ended, because I've no further becoming. I'm deserving of offerings, a worthy one a three-knowledge man, with sight of the Deathless.

Those blinded by sensuality covered by the net, <p style="text-align:center;">veiled by the veil of craving, <p style="text-align:center;">bound by the Kinsman of the heedless, <p style="text-align:center;">are like fish in the mouth of a trap.

<p style="text-align:center;">Throwing that sensuality aside, <p style="text-align:center;">cutting through Mara's bond, <p style="text-align:center;">pulling out craving, root & all, <p style="text-align:center;">cooled am I, <p style="text-align:center;">Unbound.
