Yamakavagga, Verse 3

Akkocchi mam avadhi mam
ajini mam ahasi me
ye ca tam upanayhanti
veram tesam na sammati.

Verse 3: “He abused me, he ill-treated me, he got the better of me, he stole my belongings;”… the enmity of those harbouring such thoughts cannot be appeased.

I input this verse into an AI image generator and got some pretty interesting results. I believe I’ll continue doing so until we reach the end of the Dhammapada.

I also intend to keep coming back to each verse and adding resources as I find them.

Below you’ll find the text with commentary about the the monk Tissa who served as the impetus for verses 3 and 4.
