My hut on the bank of the Ganges “Tiṇṇaṁ me tālapattānaṁ, is made from three palm leaves. gaṅgātīre kuṭī katā; My alms-bowl is a funeral pot, Chavasittova me patto, my robe is cast-off rags. paṁsukūlañca cīvaraṁ.

In my first two rainy seasons Dvinnaṁ antaravassānaṁ, I spoke only one word. ekā vācā me bhāsitā; In my third rainy season Tatiye antaravassamhi, the mass of darkness was shattered. tamokhandho padālito”ti.

… Gaṅgātīriyo thero ….
