“Aho buddhā aho dhammā,
Oh, the Buddhas! Oh, the Dhammas!
aho no satthu sampadā;
Oh, the accomplishments of the Teacher!
Yattha etādisaṁ dhammaṁ,

This is their last,
carimoyaṁ samussayo;
their very final body
Jātimaraṇasaṁsāro,
in the transmigration through births and deaths;
natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.
now there are no more future lives.
