Vakkalittheragāthā Vakkali

ā€œVātarogābhinÄ«to tvaṁ, ā€œStruck by a wind ailment

viharaṁ kānane vane; while dwelling in a forest grove,

Paviį¹­į¹­hagocare lÅ«khe, you’ve entered a tough place for gathering alms—

kathaṁ bhikkhu karissasiā€. how will you get by, monk?ā€

ā€œPÄ«tisukhena vipulena, ā€œPervading this bag of bones

pharamāno samussayaṁ; with abundant rapture and happiness,

LÅ«khampi abhisambhonto, putting up with what’s tough,

viharissāmi kānane. I’ll dwell in the forest.

Bhāvento satipaṭṭhāne, Developing mindfulness meditation,

indriyāni balāni ca; the faculties and the powers,

Bojjhaį¹…gāni ca bhāvento, developing the factors of awakening,

viharissāmi kānane. I’ll dwell in the forest.

Āraddhavīriye pahitatte, Having seen those who are energetic, resolute,

Niccaṁ daḷhaparakkame; always staunchly vigorous,

Samagge sahite disvā, harmonious and united,

Viharissāmi kānane. I’ll dwell in the forest.

Anussaranto sambuddhaṁ, Recollecting the Buddha—

aggaṁ dantaṁ samāhitaṁ; the best, the tamed, the serene—

Atandito rattindivaṁ, tireless all day and night

viharissāmi kānaneā€ti. I’ll dwell in the forest.ā€
