Verses of the Senior Monks 2.4
The Book of the Twos
Chapter One
Gaṅgātīriya
My hut on the bank of the Ganges
is made from three palm leaves.
My alms-bowl is a funeral pot,
my robe is cast-off rags.
In my first two rainy seasons
I spoke only one word.
In my third rainy season
the mass of darkness was shattered.
