4.2 Bhagu#

Overwhelmed by drowsiness,
I came out of my dwelling;
Stepping up on to the walking meditation path,
I fell to the ground right there.

I rubbed my limbs, and again
I stepped up on to the walking meditation path.
I walked meditation up and down the path,
Serene inside myself.

Then the realization
Came upon me—
The danger became clear,
And I was firmly repulsed.

Then my mind was liberated—
See the excellence of the Dhamma!
I’ve attained the three knowledges,
And fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
