I used to be in a sorry state.As a childless widow,bereft of friends or relatives,I got neither food nor clothes.

“Duggatāhaṁ pure āsiṁ, vidhavā ca aputtikā; Vinā mittehi ñātīhi, bhattacoḷassa nādhigaṁ.

bereft of friends or relatives,
Vinā mittehi ñātīhi,

I took a bowl and a staffand went begging from family to family.For seven years I wandered,burned by heat and cold.

Pattaṁ daṇḍañca gaṇhitvā, bhikkhamānā kulā kulaṁ; Sītuṇhena ca ḍayhantī, satta vassāni cārihaṁ.

Then I saw a nunreceiving food and drink.Approaching her, I said:“Send me forth to homelessness.”

Bhikkhuniṁ puna disvāna, annapānassa lābhiniṁ; Upasaṅkamma avocaṁ, *avocaṁ → avociṁ (mr)‘pabbajjaṁ anagāriyaṁ’.

Out of sympathy for me,Paṭācārā gave me the going forth.Then, having advised me,she urged me on to the ultimate goal.

Sā ca maṁ anukampāya, pabbājesi paṭācārā; Tato maṁ ovaditvāna, paramatthe niyojayi.

After hearing her words,I did her bidding.The lady’s advice was not in vain:master of the three knowledges, <j>I am free of defilements.

Tassāhaṁ vacanaṁ sutvā, akāsiṁ anusāsaniṁ; Amogho ayyāyovādo, tevijjāmhi anāsavā”ti.
