Dabba Dabbattheragāthā
Once hard to tame, now tamed himself; “Yo duddamiyo damena danto, clever, content, with doubt overcome; Dabbo santusito vitiṇṇakaṅkho; victorious since his fears have vanished: Vijitāvī apetabheravo hi, Dabba is steadfast, and has become fully quenched. Dabbo so parinibbuto ṭhitatto”ti.
That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Dabba.
