Thig 1 PTS: Thig 1-18- Chapter 1: The Single Verses(excerpt)
'''I.1 — An Anonymous Bhikkhuni {v. 1}''' Sleep, little theri, sleep comfortably, wrapped in the robe that you've made, for your passion is stilled — like a pot of pickled greens boiled dry.

'''I.3 — Punna {v. 3}''' Punna, grow full with good qualities like the moon on the fifteenth day. With discernment at total fullness, burst the mass of darkness.

'''I.11 — Mutta {v. 11}''' So freed! So thoroughly freed am I! — from three crooked things set free: from mortar, pestle, <p style="text-align:center;">& crooked old husband. <p style="text-align:center;">Having uprooted the craving <p style="text-align:center;">that leads to becoming, <p style="text-align:center;">I'm set free from aging & death.

<p style="text-align:center;">'''I.17 — Dhamma {v. 17}''' <p style="text-align:center;">Wandering for alms — <p style="text-align:center;">weak, leaning on a staff, <p style="text-align:center;">with trembling limbs — <p style="text-align:center;">I fell down right there on the ground. <p style="text-align:center;">Seeing the drawbacks of the body, <p style="text-align:center;">my mind was then <p style="text-align:center;">set free.
