“Yopānudī maccurājassa senaṁ,
Ia telah menyingkirkan bala tentara Raja Kematian,
He has cast aside the army of the King of Death,
Bab Pertama
“Yopānudī maccurājassa senaṁ,
Ia telah menyingkirkan bala tentara Raja Kematian,
He has cast aside the army of the King of Death,
Naḷasetuṁva sudubbalaṁ mahogho;
bagaikan jembatan alang-alang yang sangat rapuh diterjang banjir besar;
as a fragile bridge of reeds by a great flood.
Vijitāvī apetabheravo hi,
sungguh menang, karena ketakutannya telah lenyap:
Victorious since his fears have vanished:
Danto so parinibbuto ṭhitatto”ti.
terlatih dan mantap, ia telah padam sempurna.
tame and steadfast, he has become quenched.
Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā bhalliyo thero gāthaṁ abhāsitthāti.
Demikianlah syair ini dibabarkan oleh Yang Mulia Bhikkhu Bhalliya.
That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Bhalliya.
