Uttarattheragāthā

Uttara (2nd)

“Khandhā mayā pariññātā,

I’ve fully understood the aggregates;

taṇhā me susamūhatā;

I’ve eradicated craving;

Bhāvitā mama bojjhaṅgā,

I’ve developed the factors of awakening,

Having fully understood the aggregates,

abbahitvāna jāliniṁ;

having plucked out the weaver of the web,

Bhāvayitvāna bojjhaṅge,

having developed the factors of awakening,

nibbāyissaṁ anāsavo”ti.

being undefiled, I will be fully extinguished.

… Uttaro thero ….
