1. On Deities

VIII. Incinerated — SN1.72: A Chariot

1“What’s the mark of a chariot?
What’s the mark of fire?
What’s the mark of a nation?
What’s the mark of a woman?”

2“A banner is the mark of a chariot.
Smoke is the mark of fire.
A ruler is a nation’s mark.
And a husband is the mark of a woman.”

1v.226 "Kiṁsu rathassa paññāṇaṁ,
kiṁsu paññāṇamaggino;
Kiṁsu raṭṭhassa paññāṇaṁ,
kiṁsu paññāṇamitthiyā"ti.

2"Dhajo rathassa paññāṇaṁ,
dhūmo paññāṇamaggino;
Rājā raṭṭhassa paññāṇaṁ,
bhattā paññāṇamitthiyā"ti.
