9: The Chapter about Wickedness – 129<br />

There is nowhere to hide from death<br />

Suppabuddha the Sākiyan was the Buddha’s father-in-law, but<br />

was very arrogant and obstructed the Buddha when he was on<br />

almsround, which led to the Buddha predicting the time and<br />

place of his death; Suppabuddha thought he could escape his<br />

fate, but he met it anyway; the Buddha spoke this verse<br />

explaining the matter.<br />

128. Na antalikkhe, na samuddamajjhe,<br />

na pabbatānaṁ vivaraṁ pavissa:<br />

na vijjatī so jagatippadeso,<br />

yatthaṭṭhitaṁ nappasahetha maccu.<br />

Neither in the sky, nor in the ocean,<br />

nor after entering a mountain cleft:<br />

there is no place found on this earth in which<br />

death does not completely overcome one.<br />
