Psalms of the Sisters XXXI: Another Uttamā
Translated by Mrs. C. A. F. Rhys Davids (1909) · From Psalms of the Early Buddhists I: Psalms of the Sisters (1909)
The Seven Factors of the Awakened mind–
Seven Ways whereby we may Nibbana win–
All, all have I developed and made ripe,
Even according to the Buddha's word.
Fulfilled is heart's desire: I win the Void,
I win the Signless! Buddha's daughter I,
Born of his mouth, his blessed word, I stand,
Transported with Nibbana's bliss alway.
And all the sense-desires that fetter gods,
That hinder men, are wholly riven off.
Abolished is the infinite round of births.
Becoming cometh ne'er again for me.
