PaccayaPaccayattheragāthā

I went forth five days ago,“Pañcāhāhaṁ pabbajito, a trainee, my heart’s desire unfulfilled.sekho appattamānaso; I entered my dwellingVihāraṁ me paviṭṭhassa, and resolved in my heart:cetaso paṇidhī ahu.

I won’t eat; I won’t drink;Nāsissaṁ na pivissāmi, I won’t leave my dwelling;vihārato na nikkhame; nor will I lie down on my side—Napi passaṁ nipātessaṁ, not until the dart of craving is plucked.taṇhāsalle anūhate.

See my energy and vigorTassa mevaṁ viharato, as I meditate like this!passa vīriyaparakkamaṁ; I’ve attained the three knowledgesTisso vijjā anuppattā, and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti.
