Theragāthā
Verses of the Senior Monks
Chapter of the Twos
2.19. Nanda
I used my mind unwisely,
I was addicted to ornamentation.
I was vain, fickle,
Tormented by desire for sensual pleasures.But with the help of the Buddha,
The Kinsman of the Sun, so skilled in means,
I practiced wisely,
And extracted any attachment to being reborn from my mind.
