Attahata Sutta

Translation by Bhikkhuni Uppalavanna


 * "By what is the world attacked?
 * By what is it attended?
 * Pierced by what arrow
 * Does it fumigate all the time?"


 * "The world is attacked by death, attended by decay
 * Pierced by the arrow craving,
 * Desires fumigate all the time."
