Due to irrational application of mind, I was racked by desire for pleasures of the senses. I was restless in the past, lacking control over my mind. Overcome by corruptions, pursuing perceptions of the beautiful, I gained no peace of mind. Under the sway of lustful thoughts, thin, pale, and wan, for seven years I wandered, full of pain, finding no happiness by day or night. Taking a rope I entered deep into the forest, thinking: “It’s better that I hang myself than I return to a lesser life.” I made a strong noose and tied it to the branch of a tree. Casting it round my neck, my mind was freed.
