Thig 3.6 - Sukkā Translated by Bhikkhu Sujato Source: https://suttacentral.net/thig3.6/en/sujato License: CC0-1.0 Verses of the Senior Nuns 3.6 The Book of the Threes Sukkā “What’s up with these people in Rājagaha? They sprawl like they’ve been drinking mead! They don’t attend on Sukkā as she teaches the Buddha’s instructions. But the wise— it’s as if they drink it up, so irresistible, delectable, and nutritious, like travelers enjoying a cool cloud.” “She’s known as Sukkā because of her bright qualities, free of greed, serene. She bears her final body, having vanquished Māra with his legions.”
