Dabbattheragāthā  Dabba

“Yo duddamiyo damena danto,  Once hard to tame, now tamed himself;
Dabbo santusito vitiṇṇakaṅkho;  clever, content, with doubt overcome;
Vijitāvī apetabheravo hi,  victorious since his fears have vanished:
Dabbo so parinibbuto ṭhitatto”ti.  Dabba is steadfast, and has become fully quenched.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā dabbo thero gāthaṁ abhāsitthāti.  That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Dabba.
