UttarapālaUttarapālattheragāthā

I was, indeed, an astute scholar,“Paṇḍitaṁ vata maṁ santaṁ, competent to think on the meaning.alamatthavicintakaṁ; The five kinds of sensual stimulation in the world,Pañca kāmaguṇā loke, so delusory, were my downfall.sammohā pātayiṁsu maṁ.

Leaping into Māra’s domain,Pakkhando māravisaye, I was struck by a powerful dart.daḷhasallasamappito; But I was able to free myselfAsakkhiṁ maccurājassa, from the trap laid by the King of Death.ahaṁ pāsā pamuccituṁ.

I have given up all sensual pleasures;Sabbe kāmā pahīnā me, all rebirths are shattered;bhavā sabbe padālitā; transmigration through births is finished;Vikkhīṇo jātisaṁsāro, now there’ll be no more future lives.natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.
