Sītavaniya Sītavaniyattheragāthā

The monk who went to the Cool Grove is solitary, “Yo sītavanaṁ upagā bhikkhu, content and serene, Eko santusito samāhitatto; victorious, with goosebumps vanished, Vijitāvī apetalomahaṁso, guarding mindfulness of the body, steadfast. Rakkhaṁ kāyagatāsatiṁ dhitimā”ti.

That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Sītavaniya.
