Belaṭṭhasīsa
“Yathāpi bhaddo ājañño, Just as a fine thoroughbred
naṅgalāvattanī sikhī; proceeds with ease,
Gacchati appakasirena, tail and mane flying in the wind;
evaṁ rattindivā mama; so my days and nights
Gacchanti appakasirena, proceed with ease,
sukhe laddhe nirāmise”ti. full of joy not of the flesh.
