Kavi sutta: A Poet

Kavisutta

Jarāvagga

A pair of verses on the nature of poetry, and lacking a Dhamma counterpart.

“What’s the source of verses?
What constitutes their phrasing?

What do verses depend upon?

What underlies verses?”

“Metre is the source of verses.
Syllables constitute their phrasing.

Verses depend on names.

A poet underlies verses.”
