Born of the flesh, that net of the senses, I won\u2019t urge you to do bad. Caged, you won\u2019t go anywhere, like an elephant who can\u2019t find an open gate. Loser mind, you won\u2019t wander again and again, bullying, in love with wickedness. Just as a strong trainer with a hook takes a wild, newly captured elephant and wins it over against its will, so I\u2019ll win you over. Just as a fine charioteer, skilled in the taming of fine horses, tames a thoroughbred, so I\u2019ll tame you, firmly established in the five powers. I\u2019ll bind you with mindfulness; devout, I shall tame you; kept in check by harnessed energy, mind, you won\u2019t go far from here.","title":"Vijitasena","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":127}
