Vaḍḍhamānattheragāthā
Vaḍḍhamāna
“Sattiyā viya omaṭṭho, Like they’re struck by a sword,
ḍayhamānova matthake; like their head was on fire,
Bhavarāgappahānāya, a mendicant should wander mindful,
sato bhikkhu paribbaje”ti. to give up desire for rebirth.
Gahvaratīriyo suppiyo,
sopāko ceva posiyo;
Sāmaññakāni kumāputto,
kumāputtasahāyako;
Gavampati tissatthero,
vaḍḍhamāno mahāyasoti.
