[425] 6. "Though indeed I am suffering (dukkhitā), weak, with my youth gone,
leaning upon a staff, I go, having climbed the mountain.
Having laid aside my outer robe (saṅghāṭi) and turned my bowl upside down,
I sat down upon the rock; then my mind (citta) was liberated.
The three true knowledges (vijjā) have been attained; the Buddha's teaching has been done."
Mettikā.
