1.1“Pārāyanamanugāyissaṁ,“I shall keep reciting the Way to the Far Shore,”¹1.2(iccāyasmā piṅgiyo)said Venerable Piṅgiya,1.3Yathāddakkhi tathākkhāsi;“which was taught as it was seen1.4Vimalo bhūrimedhaso,by the immaculate one of vast intelligence.1.5Nikkāmo nibbano nāgo;He is desireless, unentangled, a spiritual giant:1.6Kissa hetu musā bhaṇe.why would he speak falsely?

2.1Pahīnamalamohassa,Come, let me extol2.2mānamakkhappahāyino;in sweet words of praise2.3Handāhaṁ kittayissāmi,the one who’s given up stains and delusions,2.4giraṁ vaṇṇūpasañhitaṁ.conceit and contempt.

3.1Tamonudo buddho samantacakkhu,The Buddha, All-seer, dispeller of darkness,3.2Lokantagū sabbabhavātivatto;has gone to world’s end, beyond all rebirths;3.3Anāsavo sabbadukkhappahīno,he is free of defilements, <j>and has given up all suffering,3.4Saccavhayo brahme upāsito me.the rightly-named one, brahmin, is revered by me.

4.1Dijo yathā kubbanakaṁ pahāya,Like a bird that flees a little copse,4.2Bahupphalaṁ kānanamāvaseyya;to roost in a forest abounding in fruit,4.3Evampahaṁ appadasse pahāya,I’ve left the near-sighted behind,4.4Mahodadhiṁ haṁsoriva ajjhapatto.like a swan come to a great river.

5.1Ye me pubbe viyākaṁsu,Those who explained to me previously,5.2Huraṁ gotamasāsanā;before Gotama’s teaching,5.3Iccāsi iti bhavissati,said ‘thus it was’ or ‘so it shall be’.5.4Sabbaṁ taṁ itihītihaṁ;All that was just the testament of hearsay;5.5Sabbaṁ taṁ takkavaḍḍhanaṁ.all that just fostered speculation.

6.1Eko tamanudāsino,Alone, the dispeller of darkness6.2jutimā so pabhaṅkaro;is brilliant, a beacon:6.3Gotamo bhūripaññāṇo,Gotama, vast in wisdom,6.4gotamo bhūrimedhaso.Gotama, vast in intelligence.

7.1Yo me dhammamadesesi,He is the one who taught me Dhamma,7.2Sandiṭṭhikamakālikaṁ;apparent in the present life, immediately effective,7.3Taṇhakkhayamanītikaṁ,the untroubled, the end of craving,7.4Yassa natthi upamā kvaci”.to which there is no compare.”

8.1“Kiṁ nu tamhā vippavasasi,“Why would you dwell apart from him²8.2muhuttamapi piṅgiya;even for an hour, Piṅgiya?8.3Gotamā bhūripaññāṇā,From Gotama, vast in wisdom,8.4gotamā bhūrimedhasā.from Gotama, vast in intelligence?

9.1Yo te dhammamadesesi,He is the one who taught you Dhamma,9.2Sandiṭṭhikamakālikaṁ;apparent in the present life, immediately effective,9.3Taṇhakkhayamanītikaṁ,the untroubled, the end of craving,9.4Yassa natthi upamā kvaci”.to which there is no compare.”

10.1“Nāhaṁ tamhā vippavasāmi,“I never dwell apart from him,10.2Muhuttamapi brāhmaṇa;not even for an hour, brahmin.10.3Gotamā bhūripaññāṇā,From Gotama, vast in wisdom,10.4Gotamā bhūrimedhasā.from Gotama, vast in intelligence.

11.1Yo me dhammamadesesi,He is the one who taught me Dhamma,11.2Sandiṭṭhikamakālikaṁ;apparent in the present life, immediately effective,11.3Taṇhakkhayamanītikaṁ,the untroubled, the end of craving,11.4Yassa natthi upamā kvaci.to which there is no compare.

12.1Passāmi naṁ manasā cakkhunāva,Being diligent, I see him12.2Rattindivaṁ brāhmaṇa appamatto;in my mind’s eye day and night.12.3Namassamāno vivasemi rattiṁ,I spend the night in homage to him,12.4Teneva maññāmi avippavāsaṁ.hence I think I dwell with him.

13.1Saddhā ca pīti ca mano sati ca,My faith and joy and intent and mindfulness13.2Nāpentime gotamasāsanamhā;never stray from Gotama’s teaching.13.3Yaṁ yaṁ disaṁ vajati bhūripañño,I bow to whatever direction13.4Sa tena teneva natohamasmi.the one of vast wisdom heads.

14.1Jiṇṇassa me dubbalathāmakassa,I’m old and feeble,14.2Teneva kāyo na paleti tattha;so my body cannot go there,14.3Saṅkappayantāya vajāmi niccaṁ,but I always travel in my thoughts,14.4Mano hi me brāhmaṇa tena yutto.for my mind, brahmin, is bound to him.

15.1Paṅke sayāno pariphandamāno,Lying floundering in the mud,15.2Dīpā dīpaṁ upaplaviṁ;I drifted from island to island.15.3Athaddasāsiṁ sambuddhaṁ,Then I saw the Buddha,15.4Oghatiṇṇamanāsavaṁ”.the undefiled one who has crossed the flood.”

16.1“Yathā ahū vakkali muttasaddho,“Just as Vakkali was committed to faith—³16.2Bhadrāvudho āḷavigotamo ca;Bhadrāvudha and Gotama of Āḷavī too—16.3Evamevaṁ tvampi pamuñcassu saddhaṁ,so too you should commit to faith.16.4Gamissasi tvaṁ piṅgiya maccudheyyassa pāraṁ”.You will go, Piṅgiya, beyond the domain of death.”

17.1“Esa bhiyyo pasīdāmi,“My confidence grows17.2Sutvāna munino vaco;as I hear the word of the sage,17.3Vivaṭṭacchado sambuddho,the Buddha with veil cast off,17.4Akhilo paṭibhānavā.so kind and eloquent.

18.1Adhideve abhiññāya,Having directly known all about the gods,⁴18.2Sabbaṁ vedi varovaraṁ;he understands all top to bottom,18.3Pañhānantakaro satthā,the Teacher who settles all questions18.4Kaṅkhīnaṁ paṭijānataṁ.for those who admit their doubts.

19.1Asaṁhīraṁ asaṅkuppaṁ,The unfaltering, the unshakable:19.2Yassa natthi upamā kvaci;that to which there is no compare.19.3Addhā gamissāmi na mettha kaṅkhā,For sure I will go there, I have no doubt of that.19.4Evaṁ maṁ dhārehi adhimuttacittan”ti.Remember me as one whose mind is made up.”
