Nāgasamāla

Adorned with jewelry and all dressed up, 
with garlands, and sandalwood makeup piled on, 
along the main street is a lady—
a dancer dancing as the music plays. 

I entered for alms, 
and while walking along I glanced at her, 
adorned with jewelry and all dressed up, 
like a snare of death laid down. 

Then the realization 
came upon me—
the danger became clear, 
and I grew firmly disillusioned. 

Then my mind was freed—
see the excellence of the teaching! 
I’ve attained the three knowledges 
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
