1.1“Paṇḍitaṁ vata maṁ santaṁ,I was, indeed, an astute scholar,1.2alamatthavicintakaṁ;competent to think on the meaning.1.3Pañca kāmaguṇā loke,The five kinds of sensual stimulation in the world,1.4sammohā pātayiṁsu maṁ.so delusory, were my downfall.

2.1Pakkhando māravisaye,Leaping into Māra’s domain,2.2daḷhasallasamappito;I was struck by a powerful dart.2.3Asakkhiṁ maccurājassa,But I was able to free myself2.4ahaṁ pāsā pamuccituṁ.from the trap laid by the King of Death.

3.1Sabbe kāmā pahīnā me,I have given up all sensual pleasures;3.2bhavā sabbe padālitā;all rebirths are shattered;3.3Vikkhīṇo jātisaṁsāro,transmigration through births is finished;3.4natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.now there’ll be no more future lives.
