Gaṅgātīriyattheragāthā
Gaṅgātīriya
“Tiṇṇaṁ me tālapattānaṁ, My hut on the bank of the Ganges
gaṅgātīre kuṭī katā; is made from three palm leaves.
Chavasittova me patto, My alms-bowl is a funeral pot,
paṁsukūlañca cīvaraṁ. my robe is cast-off rags.
Dvinnaṁ antaravassānaṁ, In my first two rainy seasons
ekā vācā me bhāsitā; I spoke only one word.
Tatiye antaravassamhi, In my third rainy season
tamokhandho padālito”ti.
the mass of darkness was shattered.
