Verses of the Elder Aḍḍhakāsi
“In the country of Kāsi
I was purchased.
The townsman set a price,
but settled for half of it.
Then I was disenchanted by form;
disenchanted, I became dispassionate.
May I not be reborn again in saṁsāra,
may I not return again and again!
Now I have realized the three knowledges
and completed the teaching of the Buddha.”
The Elder Aḍḍhakāsi
