Gosālattheragāthā

Gosāla

“Ahaṁ kho veḷugumbasmiṁ,
I’ll eat honey and milk-rice

bhutvāna madhupāyasaṁ;
in Veḷugumba.

Padakkhiṇaṁ sammasanto,
And then, skillfully scrutinizing

khandhānaṁ udayabbayaṁ;
the rise and fall of the aggregates,

Sānuṁ paṭigamissāmi,
I’ll return to my forest hill

vivekamanubrūhayan”ti.
and foster seclusion.

… Gosālo thero ….
