Surādhattheragāthā

from: 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 reached the goal
for the sake of which I went forth
from the lay life to homelessness:
the ending of all fetters.
