Summary: Anekajātisaṃsāraṃ sandhāvissaṃ, anibbisaṃ gahakāraṃ gavesanto; dukkhā jāti punappunaṃ. Gahakāraka! Diṭṭhosi. Puna gehaṃ na kāhasi. Sabbā te phāsukā bhaggā, gahakūṭaṃ visaṅkhataṃ. Visaṅkhāragataṃ cittaṃ: taṇhānaṃ khayamajjhagā. Listen Through countless births in the cycle of existence I have run, not finding although seeking the builder of this house; and again and again I faced the suffering of new birth. Oh housebuilder! Now you are seen. You shall not build a house again for me. All your beams are broken, the ridgepole is shattered. The mind has become freed from conditioning: the end of craving has been reached.
