1.1“Ahu tuyhaṁ pure saddhā,In the past you had faith,1.2sā te ajja na vijjati;today you have none.1.3Yaṁ tuyhaṁ tuyhamevetaṁ,What’s yours is yours alone—1.4natthi duccaritaṁ mama.I’ve done nothing wrong.

2.1Aniccā hi calā saddhā,Faith is impermanent, fickle:2.2evaṁ diṭṭhā hi sā mayā;or so I have seen.2.3Rajjantipi virajjanti,Passions wax and wane:2.4tattha kiṁ jiyyate muni.why would a sage waste away on that account?

3.1Paccati munino bhattaṁ,The meal of a sage is cooked3.2Thokaṁ thokaṁ kule kule;bit by bit in this family or that.3.3Piṇḍikāya carissāmi,I’ll walk for alms,3.4Atthi jaṅghabalaṁ mamā”ti.for my legs are strong.
