Nandattheragāthā

“Ayoniso manasikārā, maṇḍanaṁ anuyuñjisaṁ; Uddhato capalo cāsiṁ, kāmarāgena aṭṭito.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Nanda

Because of focusing on the wrong things, I was addicted to ornamentation. I was vain, fickle, racked by desire for pleasures of the senses.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Upāyakusalenāhaṁ, buddhenādiccabandhunā; Yoniso paṭipajjitvā, bhave cittaṁ udabbahin”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

But with the help of the Buddha, the Kinsman of the Sun, so skilled in means, I practiced rationally and extracted attachment to continued existence from my mind.
