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 ….
