Therīgāthā 20

Verses of the Senior Nuns 2.2

The Book of the Twos

Jentā

1 Of the seven awakening factors,

the path for attaining extinguishment,

I have developed them all,

just as the Buddha taught.

2 For I have seen the Blessed One,

and this bag of bones is my last.

Transmigration through births is finished,

now there’ll be no more future lives.

3 That is how these verses were recited by the senior nun Jentā.
