Vīra Vīrattheragāthā
Once hard to tame, now tamed himself; “Yo duddamiyo damena danto, a hero, content, with doubt overcome; Vīro santusito vitiṇṇakaṅkho; victorious, with goosebumps vanished, Vijitāvī apetalomahaṁso, Vīra is steadfast, and has become fully quenched. Vīro so parinibbuto ṭhitatto”ti.
That is how this verse was recited by the senior venerable Vīra.
