Thag 4.9

Candanattheragāthā

“Jātarūpena sañchannā, dāsīgaṇapurakkhatā; Aṅkena puttamādāya, bhariyā maṁ upāgami.

Candana

Covered over with gold, surrounded by all her maids, with my son upon her hip, my wife came to me.

Tañca disvāna āyantiṁ, sakaputtassa mātaraṁ; Alaṅkataṁ suvasanaṁ, maccupāsaṁva oḍḍitaṁ.

I saw her coming, the mother of my son, adorned with jewelry and all dressed up, set up like a snare of death.

Tato me manasīkāro, yoniso udapajjatha; Ādīnavo pāturahu, nibbidā samatiṭṭhatha.

Then the realization came upon me— the danger became clear, and I was firmly disillusioned.

Tato cittaṁ vimucci me, passa dhammasudhammataṁ; Tisso vijjā anuppattā, kataṁ buddhassa sāsanan”ti.

Then my mind was freed— behold the clear rightness of the teaching! I’ve attained the three knowledges and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
