Pilindavacchattheragāthā

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.
