Verses of the Senior Monks 2.24
The Book of the Twos
Chapter Three
Valliya (3rd)
The duty of one whose energy is strong;
the duty of one who longs to wake up:
that I’ll do, I won’t fail—
see my energy and vigor!
Teach me the path,
the direct route whose objective is freedom from death.
I’ll know it with wisdom,
as the Ganges knows the ocean.
