Not knowing the path of purity, I practised austere asceticism for immortality.

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

I am a possessor of the threefold true knowledge, one who has bathed, I am a learned one, one who has attained the highest knowledge."

Having entered my dwelling, there arose an aspiration of mind.

Nor shall I lay down my side, while the dart of craving is not rooted out.

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

He falls from a state of happiness, and afterwards he repents.

One not doing but speaking - the wise fully understand him.

Sorrowless, stainless, secure, where suffering ceases."

One should not despise what belongs to the monastic community, robe, drink and food.

Like a snake in a rat's hole, one should resort to lodgings.

One should be content with whatever there is, and should develop one thing."

Thus for those who abandon their work, moments pass by the young man.

Doing a man's duties, he does not abandon happiness.

I shall push aside with my chest, developing seclusion."

One of them, this venerable one, stands at the door, Khujjasobhita.

One of them, this venerable one, stands at the door, stirred by the wind.

By practising the holy life, thus this one thrives in happiness."

From this world and from the next, from both a man falls to ruin.

Such a person indeed generates much merit.

And in sitting alone in a secret place, and in the appeasement of the mind."

Righteous, accomplished in morality, is for the benefit of kinsmen.

With love for relatives and kinsmen, having done service to the monks.

My brothers and mother rejoice, those who desire sensual pleasures."

Moderate in food and drink, a man of undepressed mind."

Like an elephant at the head of battle, mindful, one should endure there.

As a village, so are three; beyond that is uproar."

What is yours is yours alone, there is no misconduct of mine.

They become attached and become detached, therein what does the sage lose?

I shall walk for almsfood, I have strength in my legs."

One should associate with good friends, those of pure livelihood, not lazy.

A monk dwelling in the Community, being wise, should train in the monastic discipline.

Skilled in what is allowable and not allowable, one should live without being led."

The five types of sensual pleasure in the world, through confusion, made me fall.

I was able to free myself from the snare of the King of Death.

The cycle of birth and wandering is eliminated, there is now no more rebirth."

I will expound to you the Teaching, painful is birth again and again.

Shake off the army of Death, as an elephant a hut made of reeds.

Having abandoned the round of rebirths, will make an end of suffering."

In suffering too in the animal realm, in many ways indeed I dwelt for a long time.

In the fine-material sphere elements, in the immaterial sphere elements, among those neither percipient nor non-percipient, and among the non-percipient I stood established.

Having known that self-existence, mindful, I attained only peace."

He falls from a state of happiness, and afterwards he repents.

One not doing but speaking - the wise fully understand him.

Sorrowless, stainless, secure, where suffering ceases."

And one should stand firm in his exhortation, aspiring for unshakeable happiness.

Thus, having associated with the lazy, even one living well sinks;

Therefore one should avoid him, the lazy one of inferior energy.

With those constantly putting forth strenuous energy, with the wise ones, one should live together."
