This chap, “Rag-rice”, he sure is a rag!“Ayamiti kappaṭo kappaṭakuro, Into the vase of freedom from death, <j>polished and overflowing,Acchāya atibharitāya; sufficient teaching has been poured;Amataghaṭikāyaṁ dhammakaṭamatto, the path to build up absorptions has been laid out.Katapadaṁ jhānāni ocetuṁ.

Don’t nod off, Rag—Mā kho tvaṁ kappaṭa pacālesi, I’ll smack your ear!Mā tvaṁ upakaṇṇamhi tāḷessaṁ; You know no limit,Na hi tvaṁ kappaṭa mattamaññāsi, nodding off in the midst of the Saṅgha!Saṅghamajjhamhi pacalāyamāno”ti.
