GaṅgātīriyaGaṅgātīriyattheragāthā

My hut on the bank of the Ganges“Tiṇṇaṁ me tālapattānaṁ, is made from three palm leaves.gaṅgātīre kuṭī katā; My alms-bowl is a funeral pot,Chavasittova me patto, my robe is cast-off rags.paṁsukūlañca cīvaraṁ.

In my first two rainy seasonsDvinnaṁ antaravassānaṁ, I spoke only one word.ekā vācā me bhāsitā; In my third rainy seasonTatiye antaravassamhi, the mass of darkness was shattered.tamokhandho padālito”ti.
