Having Killed Chetvā Sutta (SN 1:71) As she was standing to one side, a devatā recited this verse to the Blessed One: “Having killed what do you sleep in ease? Having killed what do you not grieve? Of the slaying of what one thing does Gotama approve?” The Buddha: “Having killed anger you sleep in ease. Having killed anger you do not grieve. The noble ones praise the slaying of anger —with its honeyed crest & poison root— for having killed it you do not grieve.”
