Paccayattheragāthā

Paccaya

“Pañcāhāhaṁ pabbajito,
I went forth five days ago,

sekho appattamānaso;
a trainee, my heart’s desire unfulfilled.

Vihāraṁ me paviṭṭhassa,
I entered my dwelling

cetaso paṇidhī ahu.
and resolved in my heart:

Nāsissaṁ na pivissāmi,
I won’t eat; I won’t drink;

vihārato na nikkhame;
I won’t leave my dwelling;

Napi passaṁ nipātessaṁ,
nor will I lie down on my side—

taṇhāsalle anūhate.
not until the dart of craving is plucked.

Tassa mevaṁ viharato,
See my energy and vigor

passa vīriyaparakkamaṁ;
as I meditate like this!

Tisso vijjā anuppattā,
I’ve attained the three knowledges

kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti.
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.

… Paccayo thero ….
