Kumārakassapattheragāthā
Kassapa the Prince
“Aho buddhā aho dhammā, Oh, the Buddhas! Oh, the Dhammas!
aho no satthu sampadā; Oh, the accomplishments of the Teacher!
Yattha etādisaṁ dhammaṁ, Here a disciple may realize
sāvako sacchikāhiti. such a teaching for themselves.
Asaṅkheyyesu kappesu, Through countless eons
sakkāyādhigatā ahū; they obtained substantial forms.
Tesamayaṁ pacchimako, This is their last,
carimoyaṁ samussayo; their very final body
Jātimaraṇasaṁsāro, in the transmigration through births and deaths;
natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti. now there’ll be no more future lives.
