Vītasokattheragāthā

“Kese me olikhissanti, kappako upasaṅkami; Tato ādāsamādāya, sarīraṁ paccavekkhisaṁ.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Vītasoka

The barber approached to shave my head. I picked up a mirror and examined my body.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Tuccho kāyo adissittha, andhakāro tamo byagā; Sabbe coḷā samucchinnā, natthi dāni punabbhavo”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

My body appeared hollow; I once was blind, but the darkness disappeared. My fancy hairdo has been cut off: now there’ll be no more future lives.
