The peacocks cry out with their fair crests and tails,“Nadanti morā susikhā supekhuṇā, their lovely blue necks and fair faces, <j>their beautiful song and their call.Sunīlagīvā sumukhā sugajjino; This broad earth is lush with grass and dew,Susaddalā cāpi mahāmahī ayaṁ, and the firmament is full of beautiful clouds.Subyāpitambu suvalāhakaṁ nabhaṁ.

One practicing absorption is happy in mind, <j>and their appearance is uplifting;Sukallarūpo sumanassa jhāyataṁ, going forth in the teaching of the Buddha <j>is easy for a good person.Sunikkamo sādhu subuddhasāsane; Realize that supreme state that does not pass,Susukkasukkaṁ nipuṇaṁ sududdasaṁ, so very pure, subtle, and hard to see.Phusāhi taṁ uttamamaccutaṁ padan”ti.
