Kimilattheragāthā

Kimbila (1st)

“Abhisattova nipatati,

Old age falls like a curse;

Vayo rūpaṁ aññamiva tatheva santaṁ;

it’s the same body, but it seems like someone else’s.

Tasseva sato avippavasato,

I remember myself as if I were someone else,

Aññasseva sarāmi attānan”ti.

but I’m still the same, I haven’t been away.

… Kimilo thero ….
