Soṇapoṭiriyattheragāthā

“Na tāva supituṁ hoti, ratti nakkhattamālinī; Paṭijaggitumevesā, ratti hoti vijānatā”.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Soṇapoṭiriya

Night, with her garland of stars, is not only for sleeping. For those who know, this night is really for waking.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

“Hatthikkhandhāvapatitaṁ, kuñjaro ce anukkame; Saṅgāme me mataṁ seyyo, yañce jīve parājito”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Were I to fall from the back of an elephant, trampled by the tuskers that follow, better for me to die in battle, than to live on in defeat.
