Pāli Word a Day for July 23, 2018 — pabhā — light, radiance, shine

Yassa nittiṇṇo paṅko,
maddito kāmakaṇṭako,
mohakkhayaṃ anuppatto,
sukhadukkhesu na vedhatī sa bhikkhū.

One who has crossed over the mire,
crushed the thorn of sensuality,
reached the ending of delusion,
is a monk undisturbed by bliss & pain.

Udāna 3.22
Translated from Pāli by Thanissaro Bhikkhu
