1.1“Pañcāhāhaṁ pabbajito,I went forth five days ago,1.2sekho appattamānaso;a trainee, my heart’s desire unfulfilled.1.3Vihāraṁ me paviṭṭhassa,I entered my dwelling1.4cetaso paṇidhī ahu.and resolved in my heart:

2.1Nāsissaṁ na pivissāmi,I won’t eat; I won’t drink;2.2vihārato na nikkhame;I won’t leave my dwelling;2.3Napi passaṁ nipātessaṁ,nor will I lie down on my side—2.4taṇhāsalle anūhate.not until the dart of craving is plucked.
