Usabha (2nd)

Arranging a robe over my shoulder, 
the color of young mango sprouts, 
I entered the village for alms 
sitting on an elephant’s neck! 

But when I dismounted from the elephant, 
I was struck with a sense of urgency. 
I burned with shame, but then I found peace, 
and attained the ending of defilements.
