Sandhitattheragāthā

Sandhita

“Assatthe haritobhāse,

Beneath the Bodhi Tree,

saṁvirūḷhamhi pādape;

bright green and growing,

Ekaṁ buddhagataṁ saññaṁ,

being mindful, my perception

alabhitthaṁ patissato.

became one with the Buddha.

Ekatiṁse ito kappe,

It’s been thirty one eons

yaṁ saññamalabhiṁ tadā;

since I gained that perception;

Tassā saññāya vāhasā,

and it’s due to that perception

patto me āsavakkhayo”ti.

that I’ve attained the ending of defilements.

… Sandhito thero …

vaggo pañcamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Kumārakassapo thero,

dhammapālo ca brahmāli;

Mogharājā visākho ca,

cūḷako ca anūpamo;

Vajjito sandhito thero,

kilesarajavāhanoti.

Dukanipāto niṭṭhito.

Tatruddānaṁ

Gāthādukanipātamhi,

navuti ceva aṭṭha ca;

Therā ekūnapaññāsaṁ,

bhāsitā nayakovidāti.
