Then, late at night, the glorious godling M\u0101gha, lighting up the entire Jeta\u2019s Grove, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and addressed the Buddha in verse: \u201cWhen what is slain do you sleep at ease? When what is slain is there no sorrow? What is the one thing whose killing you approve?\u201d \u201cWhen anger\u2019s slain you sleep at ease. When anger\u2019s slain there is no sorrow. Anger has a poisonous root and a sweet tip, O Smiter of the Constrictor. The noble ones praise its killing, for when it\u2019s slain there is no sorrow.\u201d","title":"With M\u0101gha","tradition":"Samyutta Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":100}
