Come now, I\u2019ll go alone to the wilderness praised by the Buddha. It\u2019s pleasant for a mendicant to be dwelling alone and resolute. Alone and self-disciplined, I\u2019ll quickly enter the delightful forest, which gives joy to meditators, and is frequented by rutting elephants. In the Cool Grove, so full of flowers, in a cool mountain cave, I\u2019ll bathe my limbs and walk mindfully alone. When will I dwell alone, without a companion, in the great wood, so delightful, my task complete, free of defilements? This is what I want to do: may my wish succeed! I\u2019ll make it happen myself, for no one can do another\u2019s duty. Fastening my armor, I\u2019ll enter the forest. I won\u2019t leave without attaining the end of defilements. As the cool gale blows with fragrant scent, I\u2019ll split ignorance apart, sitting on the mountain-peak. In a forest grove covered with blossoms, in a cave so very cool, I take pleasure in the Mountainfold, happy with the happiness of freedom. I\u2019ve got all I wished for like the moon on the fifteenth day. With the utter ending of all defilements, now there\u2019ll be no more future lives.","title":"Ekavih\u0101riya","tradition":"Khuddaka Nikaya","translated_text":null,"word_count":211}
