(21) Chetva (or Jhatva) Ý Cutting
1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anathapindika in Jeta's grove in Savatthi.
2. Then Sakka the king of gods approached the Blessed One, worshipped and stood on a side.
3. Standing on a side the king of gods said this stanza to the Blessed One:
ßCutting what does one sleep well? Cutting what does one not grieve?
The destruction of what one thing does Gotama like?û
ßCutting anger one sleeps well. Cutting anger one does not grieve.
Vasava, the noble ones praise the destruction of the poisonous root
and the sweet top of anger
Having cut that, there is no grief.û

(22) Dubbaõõiya Ý Ugly
1. I heard thus. At one time the Blessed One was living in the monastery offered by Anàthapiõóika in Jeta's grove in Sàvatthi.
2. From there the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus: Those bhikkhus replied: ßYes, venerable sir.û
And the Blessed One said thus:
3. ßBhikkhus, in the past, a certain ugly, deformed non-human was once sitting on Sakka the king of the god's seat.
4. ßThen, bhikkhus, the gods of the thirty-three were annoyed and irritated and said `It's surprising: how could this ugly deformed non-human sit on Sakka the king of gods seat?'
5. ßThen, bhikkhus, when the gods of the thirty-three became more and more annoyed this non-human became more and more beautiful and attractive
6. ßThen the gods of the thirty-three approached Sakka the king of gods and said thus:
7. `Sir, a certain ugly deformed non-human is sitting on your seat and the gods of the thirty-three were annoyed and irritated and said ßIt's surprising how could this ugly deformed non-human sit on Sakka the king of gods seat and when the gods of the thirty-three became more and more annoyed this non-human became more and more beautiful and attractive.û Sir, is he a non-human consumed by anger?'
8. ßThen bhikkhus, Sakka the king of gods approached the non-human consumed by anger, arranged his robe on one shoulder and putting the right knee on the ground and clasping his hands towards the non human consumed by anger made these words heard to the non-human consumed by anger three times `I am Sakka the king of gods.'
9. ßHearing, the words of Sakka the king of gods the non-human became gradually ugly and deformed and disappeared from there.
10. ßThen Sakka the king of gods sat on his own seat and in a friendly manner said this stanza to the gods of the thirty-three:
`My mind is not very much hurt,
Nor do I feel as though put on a dog trough
Since long I have not become angry,
Anger does not residue in me
Become angry I do not talk roughly
And rightfully it is not praised.
I restrain myself, for my own welfare'.û

5. ßVepacitti the king of Titans seeing Sakka the king of gods approaching in the distance said: `King of gods, make me well.'
6. `Vepacitti, is it by the magic of Sambari?'
7. `Sir, wait till I ask the Titans.'
8. ßThen, bhikkhus, Vepacitti asked the Titans: `Sirs, Sakka the king of gods is to heal me with the magic of Sambari.'
9. `Sir, you should not say, Sakka the king of gods Sambari magic.'
10. ßThen, bhikkhus, Vepacitti the king of Titans said a stanza to sakka the king of gods:

2. At that time two bhikkhus associated. One of them knew his fault. Then that bhikkhu asked pardon from the other in his presence, but he would not pardon.
3. Then many bhikkhus approached the Blessed One, worshipped, sat on a side and said:
4. ßVenerable sir, two bhikkhus associated. One of them knew his fault, then that bhikkhu asked pardon from the other in his presence, but the other would not pardon.û
5. ßBhikkhus, there are two foolish men. One man does not see the fault and the other does not pardon, when pardon is asked according to the Teaching.

7. ßBhikkhus, in the past Sakka the king of gods advising the gods of the thirty-three in a friendly manner said this stanza:
