Verse 5. from Sutra One - Jié, Greedy King

Weakened, one collapses on being over powered,

Sitting as in mourning, one bitterly complains,

Afterward deep in pain one suffers,

Like a boat breaking-up amidst the sea.


倒羸為強,
Dào léi wéi qiáng,
坐服甚怨,
zuò fú shén yuàn,
次冥受痛, 
cì míng shòu tòng,
船破海中。
chuán pò hǎizhōng

Parallel: The Pali Sutta Nipata, Atthakavagga - Chap. 1 Verse 770
