Theragāthā — Versos dos Monges Anciãos — 4.6 — Senaka

1It was so welcome for me
during the Gayā spring festival
to see the Awakened One
teaching the supreme Dhamma.

2He was glorious, the tutor of a community,
a leader who had realized the highest.
In all the world with its gods,
he was the victor of unequaled vision.

3A great giant, a great hero,
a great light free of defilement.
With the utter ending of all defilements,
the Teacher fears nothing from any quarter.

4For a long time, sadly, I was corrupted,
fettered by the bond of wrong view.
That Blessed One, Senaka,
released me from all ties.
