Saṅghātherīgāthā

Verses of the Elder Saṅghā Saṅghā

“Hitvā ghare pabbajitvā,
“I left behind the house and went forth.
I gave up my home, my child, my cattle,

hitvā puttaṁ pasuṁ piyaṁ;
I left behind child, cattle, and all that is dear.
and all that I love, and went forth.

Hitvā rāgañca dosañca,
I left behind passion and aversion,
And now that I’ve given up desire and hate,

avijjañca virājiya;
and I left behind ignorance—by means of dispassion.
dispelled ignorance,

Samūlaṁ taṇhamabbuyha,
Having pulled out craving by the roots,
and plucked out craving, root and all,

upasantāmhi nibbutā”ti.
I am quenched and at peace.”
I’m at peace, I’m quenched.
