Somātherīgāthā
Somātherīgāthā
“Yaṁ taṁ isīhi pattabbaṁ, ṭhānaṁ durabhisambhavaṁ; Na taṁ dvaṅgulapaññāya, sakkā pappotumitthiyā”.
Somā
“That state’s very challenging; it’s for the sages to attain. With her two-inch wisdom, it’s not possible for a woman.”
“Itthibhāvo no kiṁ kayirā, cittamhi susamāhite; Ñāṇamhi vattamānamhi, sammā dhammaṁ vipassato.
“What difference does womanhood make when the mind is serene, and knowledge is present as you rightly discern the Dhamma.
Sabbattha vihatā nandī, Tamokhandho padālito; Evaṁ jānāhi pāpima, Nihato tvamasi antakā”ti.
Relishing is banished in every respect, and the mass of darkness is shattered. So know this, Wicked One: you’re beaten, terminator!”
