Punna, grow full with good qualities
like the moon on the fifteenth day.
With discernment at total fullness, burst
the mass
of darkness.

Puṇṇā, be filled with good qualities,like the moon on the fifteenth day.
When your wisdom is full,
shatter the mass of darkness.
That is how this verse was recited by the senior nun Puṇṇā.
