Bhalliya

1.1

“Yopānudī maccurājassa senaṁ,

He has cast aside the army of the King of Death,

1.2

Naḷasetuṁva sudubbalaṁ mahogho;

as a fragile bridge of reeds by a great flood.

1.3

Vijitāvī apetabheravo hi,

Victorious since his fears have vanished:

1.4

Danto so parinibbuto ṭhitatto”ti.

tame and steadfast, he has become quenched.

1.5

Itthaṁ sudaṁ āyasmā bhalliyo thero gāthaṁ abhāsitthāti.

That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Bhalliya.
