“Niddā tandī vijambhitā,
“Drowsiness, lethargy, lazy stretching,
“Sleepiness, sloth, and yawning,

Aratī bhattasammado;
Discontent, torpor after meals:
discontent, and grogginess after eating:

Etena nappakāsati,
Because of this, it does not appear:
because of this the noble path

Ariyamaggo idha pāṇinan”ti.
The noble path, here among beings. ”
doesn’t shine for creatures here.”

“Niddaṁ tandiṁ vijambhitaṁ,
“Drowsiness, lethargy, lazy stretching,
“Sleepiness, sloth, and yawning,

Aratiṁ bhattasammadaṁ;
Discontent, torpor after meals:
discontent, and grogginess after eating:

Vīriyena naṁ paṇāmetvā,
When one dispels this with energy,
when this is energetically fended off,

Ariyamaggo visujjhatī”ti.
The noble path is cleared.
the noble path is purified.”
