Brahmin Kasibhāradvājaperson

The brahmin Bhāradvāja the Farmer asks the Buddha in verse what must be slain to sleep at ease without sorrow; the Teacher answers that anger—with its poisonous root, festering core, and striking out—must be cut off.

Verse dialogue in the Uragavagga in which the Buddha responds regarding with bhāradvāja the farmer, contrasting worldly security with the safety of one established in the path.
