Thig 6.7

Guttātherīgāthā

“Gutte yadatthaṁ pabbajjā, hitvā puttaṁ vasuṁ piyaṁ; Tameva anubrūhehi, mā cittassa vasaṁ gami.

Guttā

Guttā, you have given up your child, your wealth, and all that you love. Foster the goal for which you went forth; do not fall under the mind’s control.

Cittena vañcitā sattā, mārassa visaye ratā; Anekajātisaṁsāraṁ, sandhāvanti aviddasū.

Beings deceived by the mind, playing in Māra’s domain, ignorant, they journey on, transmigrating through countless rebirths.

Kāmacchandañca byāpādaṁ, sakkāyadiṭṭhimeva ca; Sīlabbataparāmāsaṁ, vicikicchañca pañcamaṁ.

Sensual desire and ill will, and substantialist view; misapprehension of precepts and observances, and doubt as the fifth.

Saṁyojanāni etāni, pajahitvāna bhikkhunī; Orambhāgamanīyāni, nayidaṁ punarehisi.

O nun, when you have given up these lower fetters, you won’t come back to this world again.

Rāgaṁ mānaṁ avijjañca, uddhaccañca vivajjiya; Saṁyojanāni chetvāna, dukkhassantaṁ karissasi.

And when you’re rid of desire, conceit, ignorance, and restlessness, having cut the fetters, you’ll make an end to suffering.

Khepetvā jātisaṁsāraṁ, pariññāya punabbhavaṁ; Diṭṭheva dhamme nicchātā, upasantā carissatī”ti.

Having wiped out transmigration, and fully understood rebirth, hungerless in this very life, you will live at peace.
