(OPRC) Lesson 21 (October 19, 2023) | Tirokuḍḍa Sutta (Outside the Walls) 8-9 | Bhante Dr. G. Chandima

8.Unname udakaṁ vaṭṭhaṁ, 

 Just as water that rains on high

yathā ninnaṁ pavattati;

flows down to the plains,

Evamevaṁ ito dinnaṁ,

so too what is given here

petānaṁ upakappati.

aids the departed ghosts.

9. Yathā vārivahā pūrā,

Just as the rivers full

paripūrenti sāgaraṁ; 

swell the ocean seas

Evamevaṁ ito dinnaṁ,

so too what is given here

petānaṁ upakappati. 

aids the departed ghosts.
