thag.4.6 Theragatha

Senaka

It was so welcome for me
during the Gayā spring festival
to see the Awakened One
teaching the supreme Dhamma.
He was glorious, the teacher of a community,
a leader who had realized the highest.
In all the world with its gods,
he was the victor of unequaled vision.
A great giant, a great hero,
a great light free of defilement.
With the utter ending of all defilements,
the teacher fears nothing from any quarter.
For a long time, sadly, I was corrupted,
fettered by the bond of wrong view.
That Blessed One, Senaka,
released me from all ties.
