āmÄ bhagavantaį¹ sÄ«taį¹, mÄ bhagavantaį¹ uį¹haį¹, mÄ bhagavantaį¹ įøaį¹samakasavÄtÄtapasarÄ«sapasamphassoāti. āMay the Buddha not be hot or cold, nor be bothered by flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, or reptiles.ā
Atha kho bhagavÄ tassa sattÄhassa accayena tamhÄ samÄdhimhÄ vuį¹į¹hÄsi. When seven days had passed, the Buddha emerged from that state of immersion.

When he knew the heavens were clear and cloudless, Mucalinda unwrapped his coils from the Buddhaās body. Hiding his own form, he manifested in the form of a brahmin youth. He stood in front of the Buddha, venerating him with joined palms.
Atha kho bhagavÄ etamatthaį¹ viditvÄ tÄyaį¹ velÄyaį¹ imaį¹ udÄnaį¹ udÄnesi: Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:
āSukho viveko tuį¹į¹hassa, āSeclusion is happiness for the contented
sutadhammassa passato; who see the teaching they have learned.
AbyÄpajjaį¹ sukhaį¹ loke, Kindness for the world is happiness
pÄį¹abhÅ«tesu saį¹yamo. for one whoād not harm a living creature.
SukhÄ virÄgatÄ loke, Dispassion for the world is happiness
kÄmÄnaį¹ samatikkamo; for one who has gone beyond sensual pleasures.
AsmimÄnassa yo vinayo, But dispelling the conceit āI amā
etaį¹ ve paramaį¹ sukhanāti. is truly the ultimate happiness.ā
Paį¹hamaį¹.
