Verses of the Elder Mettikā
“I was in pain,
weak, and long past my youth,
but, leaning on a stick,
I climbed the mountain.
I laid down the outer robe
and overturned the bowl,
sitting down on a stone,
in that moment, my mind was liberated.
I obtained the three knowledges
and completed the teaching of the Buddha.”
The Elder Mettikā
