Usabha (1st) Usabhattheragāthā

The trees on the mountain tops have grown tall, “Nagā nagaggesu susaṁvirūḷhā, freshly sprinkled by towering clouds. Udaggameghena navena sittā; For Usabha, who loves seclusion,
and who thinks only of wilderness,
Vivekakāmassa araññasaññino,
goodness flourishes more and more. Janeti bhiyyo usabhassa kalyatan”ti.

vaggo ekādasamo.

Tassuddānaṁ

Belaṭṭhāniko setuccho, Bandhuro khitako isi; Malitavambho suhemanto, Dhammasavo dhammasavapitā; Saṅgharakkhitatthero ca, Usabho ca mahāmunīti.
