Psalms of the Brethren CLI: Migasira
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1913) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists II: Psalms of the Brethren (1913)
Since I went forth and entered on the Rule
Ordained by the Enlightened One Supreme,
Emancipated as I went, I rose
Transcending all these things of sense-desire.
While He, that Very Brahmin, looked on me,
O then my heart was set at liberty!
Yea, since all bonds are broke for evermore,
For me Emancipation’s fixed and sure!
