Pilindavaccha
“Svāgataṁ na durāgataṁ,
It was welcome, not unwelcome,
Nayidaṁ dumantitaṁ mama;
the advice I got was good.
Saṁvibhattesu dhammesu,
Of the well-explained teachings,
Yaṁ seṭṭhaṁ tadupāgamin”ti.
I arrived at the best.
Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā pilindavaccho thero gāthaṁ abhāsitthāti.
That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Pilindavaccha.
