Verses of the Senior Monks 1.43
The Book of the Ones
Chapter Five
Sumaṅgala
Well freed! Well freed!
I’m very well freed from three crooked things:
my sickles, my ploughs,
and my little hoes.
Even if they were here, right here—
I’d be done with them, done!
Practice absorption Sumaṅgala!
Stay heedful, Sumaṅgala!
