A Poisoned Arrow

At Sāvatthī.

“Possessions, honor, and popularity are brutal …

Who should be pierced by a poisoned arrow? A trainee who comes into possessions, honor, and popularity before they achieve their heart’s desire.

‘Arrow’ is a term for possessions, honor, and popularity.

So brutal are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”
