Verses of the Senior Nuns 2.4
The Book of the Twos
Aḍḍhakāsi
The price for my services
amounted to the nation of Kāsi.
By setting that price,
the townsfolk made me priceless.
Then, growing disillusioned with my form,
I became dispassionate.
Don’t journey on and on,
transmigrating through rebirths!
I’ve realized the three knowledges,
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
