Abhibhūtattheragāthā

Abhibhūta

“Suṇātha ñātayo sabbe,
Listen up, all my relatives,

yāvantettha samāgatā;
those who have gathered here:

Dhammaṁ vo desayissāmi,
I’ll teach you Dhamma!

dukkhā jāti punappunaṁ.
Painful is birth again and again.

Ārambhatha nikkamatha,
Rouse yourselves, try harder!

Yuñjatha buddhasāsane;
Devote yourselves to the instructions of the Buddha!

Dhunātha maccuno senaṁ,
Crush the army of death,

Naḷāgāraṁva kuñjaro.
as an elephant a hut of reeds.

Yo imasmiṁ dhammavinaye,
Whoever shall meditate diligently

appamatto vihassati;
in this teaching and training,

Pahāya jātisaṁsāraṁ,
giving up transmigration,

dukkhassantaṁ karissatī”ti.
will make an end to suffering.

… Abhibhūto thero ….
