[55] <strong>Chanting</strong> <strong>Book</strong> of Wat Phra Dhātu Srī Chomtong Voravihāra<br />
Vidhūpayaü tiññhati māra-senaü,<br />
Sūrova obhāsayam-antalikkhanti.<br />
Atītaü nānvāgameyya na ppañikaïkhe anāgataü<br />
Yad’atītam pahīnantaü appattañ ca anāgataü<br />
Paccuppannañ ca yo dhammaü tatha tatha vipas sati<br />
Asaühiraü asaïkuppaü taü viddhā manubrūhaye<br />
Ajj’ eva kiccam ātappaü ko jaññā maraõaü suve<br />
Na hi no saïgarantena mahāsenena maccunā<br />
Evaü vihārim ātāpiü aho-rattam atanditaü<br />
Taü ve bhaddeka-ratto ti santo ācikkhate munī ti.<br />

He stands, routing the troops of Mara,<br />
Like the sun that illumines the sky.<br />
[55] Bhaddekaratta-gāthā An Auspicious Day 78<br />
He would not range after the past, nor wonder about the future.<br />
What is past has been left behind, the future is as yet unreached.<br />
Whatever phenomenon is present, he clearly sees right there, right there.<br />
Unvanquished, unshaken, that is how he develops the mind.<br />
Doing his duty ardently, today, for − who knows? − tomorrow death may<br />
come. There is no bargaining with Death & his mighty horde.<br />
Whoever lives thus ardently, relentlessly both day & night,<br />
has truly had an auspicious day: So says the Peaceful Sage.
