The heavens rain, the heavens pour, I’m staying alone in a frightful hole. But while I’m staying alone in that frightful hole, I’ve no fear, no dread, no goosebumps.
“Devo ca vassati, devo ca gaḷagaḷāyati, Ekako cāhaṁ bherave bile viharāmi; Tassa mayhaṁ ekakassa bherave bile viharato, Natthi bhayaṁ vā chambhitattaṁ vā lomahaṁso vā.
This is my normal state while staying alone in a frightful hole: I’ve no fear, no dread, no goosebumps.
