Walt 1104 O Great Sage, we are announcing
“all existence has been destroyed;”
we’re freed from ties to existence
all outflows don’t exist for us. Verse 1Walt 1105 Doing previous good karma,
whatever may have been wished for,
all of this stuff has been given
for the sake of you, O Great Sage. Verse 2Walt 1106 The wishes of Buddhas, Lonely
Buddhas and of the followers,
all of this stuff has been given
for the sake of you, O Great Sage. Verse 3Walt 1107 This karma, both big and little,
excellent wish of Buddhist monks,
and service to high-status clans
has been done by us, O Great Sage. Verse 4Walt 1108 Incited by that wholesome root,
reaping the fruit of that karma,
surpassing all other humans,
we were born in kṣatriyan clans. Verse 5Walt 1109 Always together when we’re born,
when karma is done, and by caste,
born together in this last birth,
we’re kṣatriyans, born in the clans. Verse 6Walt 1110 In the harem, O Great Hero,
as though in the gods’ garden “Joy,”
we’re beautiful, very wealthy,
receiving honor and worship. Verse 7Walt 1111 Becoming wearied we went forth,
from the home into homelessness.
Remaining attached a few days,
we all attained our nirvana. Verse 8Walt 1112 People are bringing many gifts,
monastic robes and alms to eat,
requisites as well as lodgings;
we’re always honored and worshipped. Verse 9Walt 1113 Our defilements are now burnt up;
all new existence is destroyed.
Like elephants with broken chains,
we are living without constraint. Verse 10Walt 1114 Being in Best Buddha's presence
was a very good thing for us.
The three knowledges are attained;
we have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 11Walt 1115 The four analytical modes,
and these eight deliverances,
six special knowledges mastered,
we have done what the Buddha taught! Verse 12
Thus indeed Eighteen Thousand Kṣatriyan Maiden Buddhist Nuns Headed Up by Famous (Yasavatī) spoke these verses.
