Theragāthā

Verses of the Senior Monks

Chapter of the Twos

2.18. Kimi­la

In Pācīnavaṃsa grove
The companions of the Sakyans,
Having given up much wealth,
Are satisfied with whatever is put in their bowls.

Energetic, resolute,
Always strong in striving;
Having given up mundane satisfaction,
They delight in the satisfaction of Dhamma.
