thig.1.11 Therigatha

Mutta

So freed! So thoroughly freed am I! —
from three crooked things set free:
from mortar, pestle,
& crooked old husband.
Having uprooted the craving
that leads to becoming,
I'm set free from aging & death.

Muttā (2nd)

I’m well freed, so very well freed,
freed from the three things that bent me over:
the mortar, the pestle,
and my humpbacked husband.
I’m freed from birth and death;
the conduit to rebirth is eradicated.
