Covered over with gold, 
surrounded by all her maids, 
with my son upon her hip, 
my wife came to me. 

I saw her coming, 
the mother of my son, 
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 was 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.
