Usabhattheragāthā
Usabha (1st)
“Nagā nagaggesu susaṁvirūḷhā,
The trees on the mountain-tops have grown tall,
Udaggameghena navena sittā;
freshly sprinkled by towering clouds.
Vivekakāmassa araññasaññino,
For Usabha, who loves seclusion, <j>and who thinks only of wilderness,
Janeti bhiyyo usabhassa kalyatan”ti.
goodness flourishes more and more.
… Usabho thero …
vaggo ekādasamo.
Tassuddānaṁ
Belaṭṭhāniko setuccho,
Bandhuro khitako isi;
Malitavambho suhemanto,
Dhammasavo dhammasavapitā;
Saṅgharakkhitatthero ca,
Usabho ca mahāmunīti.
