Vajjiputta (2nd)Vajjiputtattheragāthā
You’ve left for the jungle, the root of a tree,“Rukkhamūlagahanaṁ pasakkiya, having laid extinguishment in your heart.Nibbānaṁ hadayasmiṁ opiya; Meditate, Gotama, don’t be negligent!Jhāya gotama mā ca pamādo, What use is this hullabaloo to you?Kiṁ te biḷibiḷikā karissatī”ti.
