MettikāMettikātherīgāthā

Though in pain,“Kiñcāpi khomhi dukkhitā, feeble, my youth long gone,dubbalā gatayobbanā; I climb the mountain,Daṇḍamolubbha gacchāmi, leaning on a staff.pabbataṁ abhirūhiya.

Having laid down my outer robeNikkhipitvāna saṅghāṭiṁ, and overturned my bowl,pattakañca nikujjiya; sitting on a rock,Nisinnā camhi selamhi, my mind was freed.atha cittaṁ vimucci me; I’ve attained the three knowledges,Tisso vijjā anuppattā, and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti.
