“Pācīnavaṁsadāyamhi, In the Eastern Bamboo Park
sakyaputtā sahāyakā; the Sakyan friends,
Pahāyānappake bhoge, having given up great wealth,
uñchāpattāgate ratā. are happy with the scraps in their bowls.
Āraddhavīriyā pahitattā, Energetic, resolute,
Niccaṁ daḷhaparakkamā; always staunchly vigorous;
Ramanti dhammaratiyā, having given up mundane delights,
Hitvāna lokiyaṁ ratin”ti. they enjoy the delights of the Dhamma.
