Discourses [41]<br />

If you do not look up to the crest of the banner of Varuõa, king of the gods,<br />

look at the crest of the banner of Ÿsāna, king of gods. If you do so, any fear,<br />

panic and goose-flesh that may arise will be overcome.’<br />

Now, Bhikkhus, in them that look up to the crest of one or the other of these<br />

four banners, any fear, panic and goose-flesh that you may have may be<br />

overcome, or again it may be not.<br />

And why is this so? Because Sakka, the ruler of the gods, is not purged of<br />

passions, hatred and ignorance; is timid, given to panic and to fright and<br />

running away.<br />

But I say thus unto you, Bhikkhus: If you when you have gone into forests, to<br />

the roots of trees, to empty places, and fear, panic and goose-flesh should<br />

befall you, you in that hour only call me to mind and think:<br />

He is a Blessed One, a Worthy One, a Perfectly Self-awakened One,<br />

consummate in knowledge & conduct, one who has gone the good way,<br />

knower of the cosmos, unexcelled trainer of those who can be taught, teacher<br />

of human & divine beings; awakened; blessed.
