Muttā (1st) Muttātherīgāthā

Muttā, be released from your yokes, “Mutte muccassu yogehi, like the moon released from the eclipse. cando rāhuggahā iva; When your mind is released, Vippamuttena cittena, enjoy your alms free of debt. anaṇā bhuñja piṇḍakan”ti.

That is how the Buddha regularly advised the trainee nun Muttā with these verses.
