So thoroughly freed am I! -- \nfrom three crooked things set free:\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 from mortar, pestle,\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 & crooked old husband.\nHaving uprooted the craving\nthat leads to becoming,\nI'm set free from aging & death.\nWandering for alms -- \nweak, leaning on a staff,\nwith trembling limbs -- \nI fell down right there on the ground.\nSeeing the drawbacks of the body,\nmy mind was then\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 set free.\nRevised: Sat 17 October 1998","title":"Therigatha I","type":"page"}
