Bhāradvāja
“Nadanti evaṁ sappaññā,
This is how the wise roar:
sīhāva girigabbhare;
like lions in mountain caves,
Vīrā vijitasaṅgāmā,
heroes, triumphant in battle,
jetvā māraṁ savāhiniṁ.
having vanquished Māra and his mount.
Satthā ca pariciṇṇo me,
I’ve served the teacher;
dhammo saṅgho ca pūjito;
I’ve honored the Dhamma and the Saṅgha;
Ahañca vitto sumano,
I’m happy and joyful,
puttaṁ disvā anāsavan”ti.
because I’ve seen my son free of defilements.
… Bhāradvājo thero ….
