Puṇṇamāsattheragāthā
Puṇṇamāsa (2nd)
“Pañca nīvaraṇe hitvā, I gave up the five hindrances
yogakkhemassa pattiyā; for the sake of sanctuary from the yoke.
Dhammādāsaṁ gahetvāna, I took Dhamma as a mirror
ñāṇadassanamattano. for knowing and seeing myself.
Paccavekkhiṁ imaṁ kāyaṁ, I examined this body,
sabbaṁ santarabāhiraṁ; all of it, inside and out.
Ajjhattañca bahiddhā ca, Internally and externally
tuccho kāyo adissathā”ti. my body appeared hollow.
