Uttamātherīgāthā  Uttamā

“Catukkhattuṁ pañcakkhattuṁ,  Four or five times
vihārā upanikkhamiṁ;  I left my dwelling.
Aladdhā cetaso santiṁ,  I had failed to find peace of heart,
citte avasavattinī.  or any control over my mind.

Sā bhikkhuniṁ upagacchiṁ,  I approached a nun
yā me saddhāyikā ahu;  in whom I had faith.
Sā me dhammamadesesi,  She taught me the Dhamma:
khandhāyatanadhātuyo.  the aggregates, sense fields, and elements.

Tassā dhammaṁ suṇitvāna,  When I had heard her teaching,
Yathā maṁ anusāsi sā;  in accordance with her instructions,
Sattāhaṁ ekapallaṅkena,  I sat cross-legged for seven days without moving,
Nisīdiṁ pītisukhasamappitā; 
pītisukhasamappitā → nisīdiṁ sukhasamappitā (bj); nisīdiṁ given over to rapture and bliss.
Aṭṭhamiyā pāde pasāresiṁ,  On the eighth day I stretched out my feet,
Tamokhandhaṁ padāliyā”ti.  having shattered the mass of darkness.

… Uttamā therī ….
