[297] 10. "'This is [my] rag' — [so thinks] Kappaṭakura —
though in the little pot of the deathless (amata),
clear and filled to overflowing,
he has gained the ladle of the Dhamma (dhammakaṭapatta) —
a step made for gathering the meditations (jhāna).
Do not nod, Kappaṭa!
Let me not strike you beside the ear;
for you, Kappaṭa, have known no measure,
nodding drowsily in the midst of the Saṅgha."
Kappaṭakura the Elder.
Summary (uddāna):
Migasira and Sivaka, and Upavāṇa the wise,
