Sutta Piṭaka
Subhūtittheragāthā
Subhūtittheragāthā Nidānagāthā Namo tassa Bhagavato Arahato Sammāsambuddhassa.
Sīhānaṁva nadantānaṁ, dāṭhīnaṁ girigabbhare; Suṇātha bhāvitattānaṁ, gāthā atthūpanāyikā.
Subhūti Background Homage to him, the blessed one, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha!
Like the lions of mighty fang who roar in mountain caves— hear now from those who’ve practiced well their own verses about themselves.
Yathānāmā yathāgottā, yathādhammavihārino; Yathādhimuttā sappaññā, vihariṁsu atanditā.
What their name, and what their clan, and how they lived by the teaching; how dedicated were those wise ones, as they meditated tirelessly.
Tattha tattha vipassitvā, phusitvā accutaṁ padaṁ; Katantaṁ paccavekkhantā, imamatthamabhāsisuṁ.
Clearly discerning in every case, they reached the state that does not pass. Reviewing their completed task, they spoke about it in these words.
Subhūtittheragāthā
“Channā me kuṭikā sukhā nivātā, Vassa deva yathāsukhaṁ; Cittaṁ me susamāhitaṁ vimuttaṁ, Ātāpī viharāmi vassa devā”ti.
Subhūti
My hut is roofed and pleasant, sheltered from the wind: so rain, heavens, as you please! My mind is serene and freed, I practice wholeheartedly: so rain, heavens!
