VajjitaVajjitattheragāthā

Transmigrating for such a long time,“Saṁsaraṁ dīghamaddhānaṁ, I’ve cycled through various states of rebirth,gatīsu parivattisaṁ; not seeing the noble truths,Apassaṁ ariyasaccāni, a blind, unenlightened person.andhabhūto puthujjano.

But when I became heedful,Tassa me appamattassa, transmigrations were mown down.saṁsārā vinaḷīkatā; All states of rebirth are cut off;Sabbā gatī samucchinnā, now there’ll be no more future lives.natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.
