Bhāradvāja
“Nadanti evaṁ sappaññā, This is how the wise roar:
sīhāva girigabbhare; like lions in mountain caves,
Vīrā vijitasaṅgāmā, heroes, triumphant in battle,
jetvā māraṁ savāhiniṁ.
having vanquished Māra and his mount.
Satthā ca pariciṇṇo me, I’ve served the teacher;
dhammo saṅgho ca pūjito; I’ve honored the Dhamma and the Saṅgha;
Ahañca vitto sumano, I’m happy and joyful,
puttaṁ disvā anāsavan”ti. because I’ve seen my son free of defilements.
