Surādhattheragāthā
Surādha
“Khīṇā hi mayhaṁ jāti,
Rebirth is ended for me;
vusitaṁ jinasāsanaṁ;
the victor’s instruction is fulfilled;
Pahīno jālasaṅkhāto,
what they call a “net” is given up;
bhavanetti samūhatā.
the conduit to rebirth is eradicated.
Yassatthāya pabbajito,
I’ve reached the goal
agārasmānagāriyaṁ;
for the sake of which I went forth
So me attho anuppatto,
from the lay life to homelessness:
sabbasaṁyojanakkhayo”ti.
the ending of all fetters.
… Surādho thero ….
