  • Therīgāthā 1.2  Verses of the Senior Nuns 1.2
  • Ekakanipāta  The Book of the Ones

Muttātherīgāthā  Muttā (1st)

“Mutte muccassu yogehi,  Muttā, be released from your yokes,
cando rāhuggahā iva;  like the moon released from the eclipse.
Vippamuttena cittena,  When your mind is released,
anaṇā bhuñja piṇḍakan”ti.  enjoy your alms free of debt.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ bhagavā muttaṁ sikkhamānaṁ imāya gāthāya abhiṇhaṁ ovadatīti.  That is how the Buddha regularly advised the trainee nun Muttā with these verses.
