c19.24

Through worldly round of many births
I ran my course, but did not find,
Seeking the builder of the house ;
Painful is birth again and again.
House-builder ! I behold thee now,
Again a house thou shalt not build ;
All thy rafters are broken now,
The ridge-pole also is destroyed ;
My mind, its elements dissolved,
The end of cravings has attained.¹
