“Yaṁ kiccaṁ daḷhavīriyena,  The duty of one whose energy is strong;
yaṁ kiccaṁ boddhumicchatā;  the duty of one who longs to wake up:
Karissaṁ nāvarajjhissaṁ, 
nāvarajjhissaṁ → nāvarujjhissaṁ (bj, mr)
that I’ll do, I won’t fail—
passa vīriyaṁ parakkamaṁ.  see my energy and vigor!

Tvañca me maggamakkhāhi,  Teach me the path,
añjasaṁ amatogadhaṁ;  the direct route that culminates in freedom from death.
Ahaṁ monena monissaṁ,  I’ll know it with wisdom,
gaṅgāsotova sāgaran”ti.  as the Ganges knows the ocean.

… Valliyo thero ….
