Nandaka

Translated from the Pali by Thanissaro Bhikkhu.

For free distribution only.

Just as a fine thoroughbred steed
stumbling, regains its stance,
feeling all the more urgency,
and draws its burden
undaunted.

In the same way, remember me:
consummate in vision,
a disciple of the Rightly
Self-awakened One,
the Awakened One's thoroughbred child,
his son.
