1.1“Bhikkhu sivathikaṁ gantvā,I, a monk, went to a charnel ground1.2Addasa itthimujjhitaṁ;and saw a woman’s body abandoned there,1.3Apaviddhaṁ susānasmiṁ,dumped in a cemetery,1.4Khajjantiṁ kimihī phuṭaṁ.full of worms that devoured.

2.1Yañhi eke jigucchanti,Some men were disgusted,2.2mataṁ disvāna pāpakaṁ;seeing her dead and rotten;2.3Kāmarāgo pāturahu,but sexual desire arose in me,2.4andhova savatī ahuṁ.I was as if blind to her oozing body.

3.1Oraṁ odanapākamhā,Quicker than the cooking of rice3.2tamhā ṭhānā apakkamiṁ;I left that place!3.3Satimā sampajānohaṁ,Mindful and aware,3.4ekamantaṁ upāvisiṁ.I retired to a discreet place.

4.1Tato me manasīkāro,Then the realization4.2yoniso udapajjatha;came upon me—4.3Ādīnavo pāturahu,the danger became clear,4.4nibbidā samatiṭṭhatha.and I was firmly disillusioned.

5.1Tato cittaṁ vimucci me,Then my mind was freed—5.2passa dhammasudhammataṁ;behold the clear rightness of the teaching!5.3Tisso vijjā anuppattā,I’ve attained the three knowledges5.4kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti.and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
