Chit Oo Nyo - Meeting with Drunkards

With Ananthuriya...

It is unclear whether a verse from the poem 'Lokanda Seikkande' by the great poet Zawgyi is speaking spontaneously, whether it is floating in the air, or whether it is being recited by itself.

It is true that the beautiful view of Lokananda Harbor is beautiful.

"Come and go, you sailing boat."

Sitting by the water, planting a badminton racket

Correspondence, exchange of goods

They laughed and were happy.

"Nanda world, have you ever been there?"

So... is it Panthaku Thera? Then the Maha Thera left Bagan because of the indecent words of Narapati Min...

"Your teacher, the great Thera,

A person of character and virtue

Help me, the Blessed One said.

The word is clear,

You are deaf, you are stubborn.

At that time, the Thera, in the land of Bagan,

No need to stay, towards the sky.

I'm about to move. I plan to do so...”

He was like a kite, spreading its wings and flying high, taking refuge in the wind, and descending downward.

A hill where the thornbush, cattail, and thistle trees grow in scattered patches. A hill far from Arimadanapura.

Hmm...this...this...he killed him.

"Come on, little man. I knew you would come, so I've been waiting."

The place where he saw the killing mound was white.

It became a bright place with rays of light. And from that bright light came the sound.

“Come on, kid, I’m here.”

"Oh..the great Dharma King, Ananthuriya"

"Yes, come on, this isn't a murder scene anymore. If it was before, it's not now."

"Your Majesty, you are the great Ananthuriya minister."

"After you floated away with the sound of a poem, you arrived before the Infinite. The second of the two kings in the poem is the momentum that brought you here."

He had dark skin, a moustache, a white robe, and no crown or crown on his head, his dark hair tied in a neat knot and pulled back.

Is he the great Ananthuriya, the one associated with the Lanka that we know as the 'Lanka of the Eye'? Pleasure and pain alternated. Then the question quickly escaped his lips.

"Only one person, if it's for the best,

"Is it true that the great Buddha composed the first verse, 'Lanka', which is the beginning of the world, only in one person, is destroyed, only in the nature,'"

"Why do you ask this question, kid?"

This is how Your Majesty, some of us believe that the four-syllable rhyme scheme of this Lanka and some of the words and phrases are not Pagan-era rhyme schemes or vocabulary, so…”

"Say it, kid."

“It is impossible for the king to have composed the Mawkhamhaw Lanka alone. It is said that this Lanka was created through a series of conversations and rituals.”

"Well...I'm a kid, I'm a bachelor."

An unexpected counter-question.

"I am just an interested listener to the arguments and debates of scholars and researchers, Your Majesty."

"Yes, I know, but as a young man, what further interest do you have in this matter?"

"Me? Yes, Your Majesty. I am more interested in the origin and consequences of this language than in its composition and vocabulary."

"So, just keep talking about what interests you, kid?"

"Yes, Your Majesty. Then let me know about King Narapati. What kind of king was he?"

"Narapati... Well... He was a pitiful human being who, from his resentment towards the secret plans of his predecessor, developed wounds of anger and resentment, and when he was combined with royal power, he lost all sense of reason and discernment."

A pitiful man..., Do you call King Narapati a pitiful man, Your Majesty? He was the one who killed his own brother, his horseman, and his servant, Aung Sa Nge, because of his wife Veluvatty. And...oh..."

"Say it, kid."

"Wasn't he the one who executed the king on the pretext of being his Naw Daw's guardian?"

"Young man... why are you so angry at King Narapati for the external events that provoked him?"

"You..."

"Look at the ignorance, delusion, greed, and anger in his essence, young man, and consider."

Ah...Is it true that the great Anantathuriya, "In the midst of adversity, in the midst of the storm, he is content, and does not want to be punished?"

"Then let me ask you something, Your Majesty. Did Your Majesty know in advance of King Yinnaraseinkha's plan to send him to the Nga Saung Chan region, where there were no rebels, with the intention of seizing his queen, Veluvatty?"

"When delusion, along with the defilements and craving, is combined, the king does not remember to consult his nobles, young man, especially not the kind of nobles who would oppose and dissuade him from bad plans."

"Hmm...so...for a problem that you were completely unaware of, you were sentenced to death."

"After my lord, Min Yin Nara Theinkha, was assassinated, King Narapati also executed his servant, Yoon Nga Aung Swar. He thought that if he had killed the first horse, his sword would already be stained with the blood of three people, and the fourth blood would be from me."

"Even so, the king did not try to escape."

"Even if he doesn't die from his sword, the body he's made of will end up being torn apart, little man."

Before he could finish speaking, a bright light suddenly appeared. After the light disappeared, the king was no longer visible.

"Poetry resounds again at the port of Lokananda."

"What a proud thing to say, I said it wrong."

Seeing the Dhamma, the teacher

Even now, I am your friend.

Come back, my love.

Humble, humble, and loving.

It opens up, from the port of Nanda World

"I saw it, beautiful harbor."
