Verses of the Senior Monks 2.27
The Book of the Twos
Chapter Three
Nandaka (1st)
Though a fine thoroughbred may stumble,
it soon stands firm again.
It gains even more urgency,
and draws its load undeterred.
Even so is one accomplished in vision,
a disciple of the Buddha.
Remember me as a thoroughbred,
the Buddha’s bosom son.
