“Paññābalī sīlavatūpapanno,  Empowered by wisdom, with precepts and observances intact,
Samāhito jhānarato satīmā;  serene, loving absorption, mindful,
Yadatthiyaṁ bhojanaṁ bhuñjamāno,  eating just the needed food,
Kaṅkhetha kālaṁ idha vītarāgo”ti.  one should await one’s time here, free of desire.
