Sumaṅgala Sumaṅgalattheragāthā

Well freed! Well freed! “Sumuttiko sumuttiko, I’m very well freed from three crooked things: Sāhu sumuttikomhi tīhi khujjakehi; my sickles, my ploughs, Asitāsu mayā naṅgalāsu mayā, and my little hoes. Khuddakuddālāsu mayā. Even if they were here, right here—Yadipi idhameva idhameva, I’d be done with them, done! Atha vāpi alameva alameva; Practice absorption Sumaṅgala!
Practice absorption Sumaṅgala!
Jhāya sumaṅgala jhāya sumaṅgala,
Stay heedful, Sumaṅgala! Appamatto vihara sumaṅgalā”ti.
