  • Therīgāthā 1.3  Verses of the Senior Nuns 1.3
  • Ekakanipāta  The Book of the Ones

Puṇṇātherīgāthā  Puṇṇā

“Puṇṇe pūrassu dhammehi,  Puṇṇā, be filled with good qualities,
Cando pannaraseriva;  like the moon on the fifteenth day.
Paripuṇṇāya paññāya,  When your wisdom is full,
Tamokhandhaṁ padālayā”ti. 
Tamokhandhaṁ → tamokkhandhaṁ (bj, sya1ed, sya2ed, pts1ed, pts2ed)
shatter the mass of darkness.

Itthaṁ sudaṁ puṇṇā therī gāthaṁ abhāsitthāti.  That is how this verse was recited by the senior nun Puṇṇā.
