15: The Chapter about Happiness – 189<br />

The truly happy one<br />

The King of Kosala is defeated three times by his nephew<br />

Ajātasattu, the King of Magadha, and took to his bed in<br />

sorrow and despair; when the Buddha heard about it he gave<br />

this teaching.<br />

201. Jayaṁ veraṁ pasavati, dukkhaṁ seti parājito,<br />

upasanto sukhaṁ seti, hitvā jayaparājayaṁ.<br />

The victor generates hatred,<br />

the defeated one finds suff’ring,<br />

the one at peace lives happily,<br />

without victory and defeat.
