Vīrattheragāthā  Vīra

“Yo duddamiyo damena danto,  Once hard to tame, now tamed himself;
Vīro santusito vitiṇṇakaṅkho;  a hero, content, with doubt overcome;
Vijitāvī apetalomahaṁso,  victorious, with goosebumps vanished,
Vīro so parinibbuto ṭhitatto”ti.  Vīra is steadfast, and has become fully quenched.

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