Thag 5.1 PTS: Thag 315-319- Rajadatta
I, a monk, gone to the charnel ground, saw a woman cast away, discarded there in the cemetery.

Though some were disgusted, seeing her — dead, evil — lust appeared, as if I were blind to the oozings.

In less time than it takes for rice to cook, I got out of that place. Mindful, alert, I sat down to one side. <p style="text-align:center;">Then apt attention arose in me, <p style="text-align:center;">the drawbacks appeared, <p style="text-align:center;">disenchantment stood <p style="text-align:center;">at an even keel:

<p style="text-align:center;">With that, my heart was released. <p style="text-align:center;">See the Dhamma's true rightness! <p style="text-align:center;">The three knowledges <p style="text-align:center;">have been attained; <p style="text-align:center;">the Awakened One's bidding, <p style="text-align:center;">done.
