Sundarīnandā

“Nandā, see this bag of bones asdiseased, filthy, and rotten.With mind unified and serene,meditate on the ugly aspects of the body:

“Āturaṁ asuciṁ pūtiṁ, passa nande samussayaṁ; Asubhāya cittaṁ bhāvehi, ekaggaṁ susamāhitaṁ.

as this is, so is that,as that is, so is this.A foul stink wafts from it,it is the fools’ delight.”

Yathā idaṁ tathā etaṁ, yathā etaṁ tathā idaṁ; Duggandhaṁ pūtikaṁ vāti, bālānaṁ abhinanditaṁ.

Reflecting in such a way,tireless all day and night,having broken throughwith my own wisdom, I saw.

Evametaṁ avekkhantī, rattindivamatanditā; Tato sakāya paññāya, abhinibbijjha dakkhisaṁ”. *abhinibbijjha → abhinibbijja (bj, sya1ed, sya2ed, pts1ed, pts2ed)

Being diligent,rationally investigating,I truly saw this bodyboth inside and out.

“Tassā me appamattāya, vicinantiyā yoniso; Yathābhūtaṁ ayaṁ kāyo, diṭṭho santarabāhiro.

Then, growing disillusioned with the body,I became dispassionate within.Diligent, detached,I’m quenched and at peace.

Atha nibbindahaṁ kāye, ajjhattañca virajjahaṁ; Appamattā visaṁyuttā, upasantāmhi nibbutā”ti.
