Surādha (THAG2.8)

Verses of the Senior Monks 2.8

The Book of the Twos

Chapter One

Surādha

Rebirth is ended for me;

the victor’s instruction is fulfilled;

what they call a “net” is given up;

the leash to existence is eradicated.

I’ve attained the goal

for the sake of which I went forth

from the lay life to homelessness—

the ending of all fetters.
