Usabha (2nd)Usabhattheragāthā

Arranging a robe over my shoulder,“Ambapallavasaṅkāsaṁ, the color of young mango sprouts,aṁse katvāna cīvaraṁ; I entered the village for almsNisinno hatthigīvāyaṁ, sitting on an elephant’s neck!gāmaṁ piṇḍāya pāvisiṁ.

But when I dismounted from the elephant,Hatthikkhandhato oruyha, I was struck with a sense of urgency.saṁvegaṁ alabhiṁ tadā; I burned with shame, but then I found peace,Sohaṁ ditto tadā santo, and attained the ending of defilements.patto me āsavakkhayo”ti.
