Hatthārohaputta

In the past my mind wanderedhow it wished, where it liked, as it pleased.Now I’ll carefully guide it,as a trainer with a hook guides a rutting elephant.

“Idaṁ pure cittamacāri cārikaṁ, Yenicchakaṁ yatthakāmaṁ yathāsukhaṁ; Tadajjahaṁ niggahessāmi yoniso, Hatthippabhinnaṁ viya aṅkusaggaho”ti. *Hatthippabhinnaṁ → hatthiṁ pabhinnaṁ (sya1ed, sya2ed, pts2ed)
