thig.2.4 Therigatha

Aḍḍhakāsi

The price for my services
amounted to the nation of Kāsi.
By setting that price,
the townsfolk made me priceless.
Then, growing disillusioned with my form,
I became dispassionate.
Don’t journey on and on,
transmigrating through rebirths!
I've realized the three knowledges,
and fulfilled the Buddha’s instructions.
