Theragāthā — Versos dos Monges Anciãos — 3.1 — Aṅgaṇikabhāradvāja
Ler no Une Sacra1Seeking purity the wrong way,
I served the sacred fire in a grove.
Not knowing the path to purity,
I practiced endless mortification.
2I’ve gained this happiness by means of happiness:
behold the clear rightness of the teaching!
I’ve attained the three knowledges
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
3I used to be brahmin only by kin,
but now I really am a brahmin!
I am master of the three knowledges, <j>I’m a bathed initiate,
I’m a scholar and a knowledge master.
