Sundarīnandātherīgāthā
“Āturaṁ asuciṁ pūtiṁ, passa nande samussayaṁ; Asubhāya cittaṁ bhāvehi, ekaggaṁ susamāhitaṁ.
Sundarīnandā
“Nandā, see this bag of bones as diseased, filthy, and rotten. With mind unified and serene, meditate on the ugly aspects of the body:
Yathā idaṁ tathā etaṁ, yathā etaṁ tathā idaṁ; Duggandhaṁ pūtikaṁ vāti, bālānaṁ abhinanditaṁ.
as this is, so is that, as that is, so is this. A foul stink wafts from it, it is the fools’ delight.”
Evametaṁ avekkhantī, rattindivamatanditā; Tato sakāya paññāya, abhinibbijjha dakkhisaṁ”.
Reflecting in such a way, tireless all day and night, having broken through with my own wisdom, I saw.
“Tassā me appamattāya, vicinantiyā yoniso; Yathābhūtaṁ ayaṁ kāyo, diṭṭho santarabāhiro.
Being diligent, rationally investigating, I truly saw this body both inside and out.
Atha nibbindahaṁ kāye, ajjhattañca virajjahaṁ; Appamattā visaṁyuttā, upasantāmhi nibbutā”ti.
Then, growing disillusioned with the body, I became dispassionate within. Diligent, detached, I’m quenched and at peace.
