[428] 9. "Abhayā, fragile is the body, to which worldlings (puthujjanā) are attached; clearly comprehending and mindful (sampajānā paṭissatā), I shall lay down this body. Beset by many painful things (dukkha-dhammā), through my delight in heedfulness (appamāda) the destruction of craving (taṇhā) has been attained; the Buddha's teaching has been done." Abhayā Therī. [Apparatus: ¹ M.: cātuddasiṃ pañcadasiṃ. ² Po., M.: adho ve. ³ M., Yu.: satīmatī (for paṭissatā).]
