thag19.1:40.1
Idaṁ pure cittamacāri cārikaṁ,
Dahulu pikiranku mengembara ke sana kemari,
In the past my mind wandered
BAGIAN 40
thag19.1:40.2
Yenicchakaṁ yatthakāmaṁ yathāsukhaṁ;
sesuai kehendaknya, ke mana pun ia suka, semaunya sendiri;
how it wished, where it liked, as it pleased.
thag19.1:40.3
Tadajjahaṁ niggahessāmi yoniso,
Kini akan kukendalikan dengan bijaksana,
Now I’ll carefully guide it,
thag19.1:40.4
Hatthippabhinnaṁ viya aṅkusaggaho.
bagaikan gajah liar yang dikendalikan dengan tongkat pengendali.
as a trainer with a hook guides a rutting elephant.
