Thig 2:3 Sumaṅgala’s Mother

Thig 2:3 Sumaṅgala’s Mother - translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu

So freed! So freed!

So thoroughly freed am I—

from my pestle,

my shameless husband

& his sun-shade making,

my moldy old pot

with its water-snake smell.

Aversion & passion

I cut with a chop.

Having come to the foot of a tree,

I do jhāna, from the bliss thinking:

“What bliss!”
