I went forth out of faith“Saddhāyāhaṁ pabbajito,from the lay life to homelessness.Agārasmānagāriyaṁ;My mindfulness and wisdom have grown,Sati paññā ca me vuḍḍhā,my mind is serene.Cittañca susamāhitaṁ;Make whatever illusions you want,Kāmaṁ karassu rūpāni,it doesn’t bother me.Neva maṁ byādhayissasī”ti.
