Another Uttamā

Thig 3.3 · Aparāuttamātherīgāthā

Pale pink wild roses open along a green woodland hedge.

Of the seven awakening factors, the path for attaining extinguishment, I have developed them all, just as the Buddha taught.

I attain the meditations on emptiness and signlessness whenever I want. I am the Buddha’s bosom daughter, always delighting in extinguishment.

All sensual pleasures are cut off, whether human or heavenly. Transmigration through births is finished, now there’ll be no more future lives.
