KN 2.24PTS: Thag 167-168
Valliya
Translated from the Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
Valliya (Thag 2.24) {Thag 167-168}
What needs to be done
with firm persistence,
what needs to be done
by someone who hopes for Awakening,
that I will do.
I will not fail.
See: persistence & striving!
You show me the path:
straight,
coming ashore in the Deathless.
I, through sagacity,
will reach it, know it,
as the stream of the Ganges,
the sea.
