Usabhattheragāthā
“Ambapallavasaṅkāsaṁ, aṁse katvāna cīvaraṁ; Nisinno hatthigīvāyaṁ, gāmaṁ piṇḍāya pāvisiṁ.
Usabha (2nd)
Arranging a robe over my shoulder, the color of young mango sprouts, I entered the village for alms sitting on an elephant’s neck!
Hatthikkhandhato oruyha, saṁvegaṁ alabhiṁ tadā; Sohaṁ ditto tadā santo, patto me āsavakkhayo”ti.
But when I dismounted from the elephant, I was struck with a sense of urgency. I burned with shame, but then I found peace, and attained the ending of defilements.
