Theragāthā 8

Verses of the Senior Monks 1.8

The Book of the Ones

Chapter One

Vīra

1 Once hard to tame, now tamed himself;

a hero, content, with doubt overcome;

victorious, with goosebumps vanished,

Vīra is steadfast, and has become fully quenched.

That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Vīra.
