“Ye ime satta bojjhaṅgā,
“These seven factors of enlightenment
Of the seven awakening factors,

maggā nibbānapattiyā;
are the path for attaining Nirvana.
the path for attaining extinguishment,

Bhāvitā te mayā sabbe,
I have developed all of them,
I have developed them all,

yathā buddhena desitā.
as taught by the Buddha.
just as the Buddha taught.

Suññatassānimittassa,
I am one who gains at will
I attain the meditations on emptiness

lābhinīhaṁ yadicchakaṁ;
the objectless and emptiness.
and signlessness whenever I want.

Orasā dhītā buddhassa,
I am the legitimate daughter of the Buddha,
I am the Buddha’s rightful daughter,

nibbānābhiratā sadā.
ever so fond of Nirvana.
always delighting in quenching.

Sabbe kāmā samucchinnā,
All sensual pleasures have been cut off,
All sensual pleasures are cut off,

ye dibbā ye ca mānusā;
both divine and human.
whether human or divine.

Vikkhīṇo jātisaṁsāro,
Destroyed is rebirth in saṁsāra,
Transmigration through births is finished,

natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.
now there is no coming back to any state of being.”
now there’ll be no more future lives.
