Narasīhagāthā

Ten verses praising the Buddha’s beauty, said to have been uttered by Rāhulamātā when Suddhodana announced to her that the Buddha was begging alms in his own city of Kapilavatthu.

Each verse ends with the word “narasīha.” ApA.i.79; J.i.89 says there were only 8 verses.¹

¹ The Burmese text has ten verses at J.I.89.
