Bhaguttheragāthā Bhagu
“Ahaṁ middhena pakato, Overwhelmed by drowsiness,
vihārā upanikkhamiṁ; I left my dwelling.
Caṅkamaṁ abhiruhanto, Stepping up to the path for walking meditation,
tattheva papatiṁ chamā. I fell to the ground right there.
Gattāni parimajjitvā, I rubbed my limbs, and again
punapāruyha caṅkamaṁ; I stepped up on the path for walking meditation.
Caṅkame caṅkamiṁ sohaṁ, I walked meditation up and down the path,
ajjhattaṁ susamāhito. serene inside myself.
Tato me manasīkāro, Then the realization
yoniso udapajjatha; came upon me—
Ādīnavo pāturahu, the danger became clear,
nibbidā samatiṭṭhatha. and I grew firmly disillusioned.
Tato cittaṁ vimucci me, Then my mind was freed—
passa dhammasudhammataṁ; see the excellence of the teaching!
Tisso vijjā anuppattā, I’ve attained the three knowledges,
kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti. and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
