Kotthiko

Once upon a time in Rajagaha, Jivaka's Mangro Grove the Bhagava...

Then the Ancient, Kotthiko the Great, approached the Bhagava,
there, taking a seat to one side, he said:

It would be a good thing for me, bhante,
if the Bhagava were to teach me Dhamma concisely.
Hearing dhamma in this way from the Bhagava
I could live alone, secluded, without negligence, ardently intent
