Therīgāthā
Canto 2
4. Aḍḍhakāsi
“No less my fee was than the Kāsī realm
Paid in revènue—this was based on that,
Value for value,—so the sheriff fixed.But irksome now is all my loveliness;
I weary of it, disillusionized.
Ne’er would I more, again and yet again,
Run on the round of rebirth and of death!
Now real and true for me the Triple Lore.
Accomplished is the bidding of the Lord.”
