Vimalattheragāthā
Vimala (1st)
“Dharaṇī ca siñcati vāti,
The rain falls and the wind blows on mother earth,
Māluto vijjutā carati nabhe;
while lightning flashes across the sky!
Upasamanti vitakkā,
But my thoughts are stilled,
Cittaṁ susamāhitaṁ mamā”ti.
my mind is serene.
… Vimalo thero …
vaggo pañcamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Sirīvaḍḍho revato thero,
sumaṅgalo sānusavhayo;
Ramaṇīyavihārī ca,
samiddhiujjayasañjayā;
Rāmaṇeyyo ca so thero,
vimalo ca raṇañjahoti.
