Abhayamātutherīgāthā Verses of the Elder Abhayā To Abhayā’s Mother From Her Daughter
“Uddhaṁ pādatalā amma, “Mother, I contemplated the body My dear mother, examine this body,
adho ve kesamatthakā; from the soles of the feet up from the soles of the feet,
Paccavekkhassumaṁ kāyaṁ, all the way to the top of the head, and down from the tips of the hairs,
asuciṁ pūtigandhikaṁ. seeing it as impure and fetid. so impure and foul-smelling.
Evaṁ viharamānāya, Dwelling in this way, Meditating like this,
sabbo rāgo samūhato; I uprooted all passion all my lust is eradicated.
Pariḷāho samucchinno, and extinguished all heat: The fever of passion is cut off,
sītibhūtāmhi nibbutā”ti. I have become cool and quenched.” I’m cooled and quenched.
