Theragāthā — Versos dos Monges Anciãos — 4.9 — Candana

1Covered over with gold,
surrounded by all her maids,
with my son upon her hip,
my wife came to me.

2I saw her coming,
the mother of my son,
adorned with jewelry and all dressed up,
set up like a snare of death.

3Then the realization
came upon me—
the danger became clear,
and I was firmly disillusioned.

4Then my mind was freed—
behold the clear rightness of the teaching!
I’ve attained the three knowledges
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
