1.2.2_21

‘‘Ādittaṃ vata maṃ santaṃ, ghatasittaṃva pāvakaṃ;
Vārinā viya osiñcaṃ, sabbaṃ nibbāpaye daraṃ.

When I was all on fire, and the fire was as if fed with ghee, You poured water on the fire, as it were, and extinguished all my grief. You drew out the arrow that was in me, the sorrow that was in my heart; Although I was dead with sorrow, you removed my sorrow for my son.

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
