Chapter One
Surādhattheragāthā
Surādha
“Khīṇā hi mayhaṁ jāti, Rebirth is ended for me;
vusitaṁ jinasāsanaṁ; the victor’s instruction is fulfilled;
Pahīno jālasaṅkhāto, what they call a “net” is given up;
bhavanetti samūhatā. the conduit to rebirth is eradicated.
Yassatthāya pabbajito, I’ve reached the goal
agārasmānagāriyaṁ; for the sake of which I went forth
So me attho anuppatto, from the lay life to homelessness:
sabbasaṁyojanakkhayo”ti. the ending of all fetters.
