Bhaguttheragāthā  Bhagu

“Ahaṁ middhena pakato,  Overwhelmed by drowsiness,
vihārā upanikkhamiṁ;  I left my dwelling.
Caṅkamaṁ abhiruhanto,  Stepping up to the path for walking meditation,
tattheva papatiṁ chamā.  I fell to the ground right there.

Gattāni parimajjitvā,  I rubbed my limbs, and again
punapāruyha caṅkamaṁ;  I stepped up on the path for walking meditation.
Caṅkame caṅkamiṁ sohaṁ,  I walked meditation up and down the path,
ajjhattaṁ susamāhito.  serene inside myself.

Tato me manasīkāro,  Then the realization
yoniso udapajjatha;  came upon me—
Ādīnavo pāturahu,  the danger became clear,
nibbidā samatiṭṭhatha.  and I grew firmly disillusioned.

Tato cittaṁ vimucci me,  Then my mind was freed—
passa dhammasudhammataṁ;  see the excellence of the teaching!
Tisso vijjā anuppattā,  I’ve attained the three knowledges,
kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti.  and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.

… Bhagutthero ….
