It was truly for my benefit
that the Buddha went to the river Nerañjara.
When I heard his teaching,
I shunned wrong view.

I used to perform a diverse spectrum of sacrifices;
I served the sacred flame,
imagining, “This is purity.”
I was a blind, ordinary person.

Caught in the thicket of wrong view,
deluded by misapprehension.
Thinking impurity was purity,
I was blind and ignorant.

I’ve abandoned wrong view;
all rebirths are shattered.
I serve the fire for those worthy of a religious donation:
I bow to the Realized One.

I’ve given up all delusion;
craving for continued existence is shattered;
transmigration through births is finished;
now there’ll be no more future lives.
