Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.31. Miga­sira

When I became a monk
In the teaching of the Buddha,
Letting go, I rose up;
I escaped the realm of sensual pleasures.

Then, under the supervision of the supreme Buddha,
My mind was freed.
I know that my freedom is unshakeable,
Because all fetters have ended.
