Kimilattheragāthā

Kimbila (1st)

“Abhisattova nipatati,
Old age falls like a curse;

Vayo rūpaṁ aññamiva tatheva santaṁ;
it’s the same body, but it seems like someone else’s.

Tasseva sato avippavasato,
I remember myself as if I were someone else,

Aññasseva sarāmi attānan”ti.
but I’m still the same, I haven’t been away.

… Kimilo thero ….
