Verses of the Elder Bhikkhunīs
Chapter of the Twos
Verses of the Elder Sumaṅgala’s Mother
“Well released, well released,
I am well released and free from the pestle.
I am shielded from my shameless husband
and from the kettle that hisses like a water snake.
Hiss! Hiss! I destroy
passion and aversion.
Having gone to the root of a tree,
‘O bliss!’ I happily meditate.”
The Elder Sumaṅgala’s Mother
