Verses of the Elder Nun Vaḍḍhamātā

204.

"May there never be craving for you, Vaḍḍha, in the world;

May you not, dear son, again and again, be a partaker of suffering.

205.

"Happily indeed, Vaḍḍha, the sages, without longing, having cut off doubt;

Having become cooled, having attained self-control, dwell without mental corruptions.

206.

"The path practised by those seers, for the attainment of insight;

For making an end of suffering, you, Vaḍḍha, should develop."

207.

"You speak confidently, this matter to me, mother;

I think surely towards me, craving is not found in you."

208.

"Whatever activities there are, Vaḍḍha, inferior, superior, or middling;

Even minute, even the slightest, craving is not found in me.

209.

"All my mental corruptions are eliminated, being diligent and meditating;

The three true knowledges have been attained, the Buddha's teaching has been fulfilled."

210.

"Indeed my mother bestowed upon me a lofty goad;

Verses connected with the ultimate meaning, just as one who is compassionate.

211.

"Having heard her word, the admonition of my mother;

I attained religious emotion regarding the Dhamma, for the attainment of freedom from bondage.

212.

"I, with self resolute in striving, unwearied day and night;

Urged on by my mother, being peaceful, I attained the highest peace."

... The elder nun Vaḍḍhamātā...
