ျမန္မာစာသား
ေညာင္ပင္ရင္း၌ ထုိင္ေတာ္မူကာ..အခုလုိ ဓိ႒ာန္ေတာ္မူပါသည္.
“အရုိးအေၾကာအေရမွ်သာက်န္၍ အသားအေသြးေတြ ေျခာက္သြားတန္လွ်င္ သြားေပေစေတာ့၊ ဗုဒၶအျဖစ္ မေရာက္သမွ် ဤထုိင္ေနျခင္းမွ မထေတာ့အံ့”
ဟု အဓိ႒ာန္ေတာ္မူေလသည္။(စာမ်က္ႏွာ ၁၀၁၊ အနာဂတ္သာသနာေရး အရွင္ဇနကာဘိ၀ံသ)
In English
Crosslegged ascetic Gotama sat under a tree, which later became known as the Bodhi Tree, the "Tree of Enlightenment" or "Tree of Wisdom", on the bank of the river Nerañjarā, at Gayā (now known as Buddhagayā), making the final effort with the inflexible resolution:
"Though only my skin, sinews, and bones remain, and my blood and flesh dry up and wither away, yet will I never stir from this seat until I have attained full enlightenment (sammā-sambodhi)."
Page-17, The Buddha, His Life and Teachings By Ven. Piyadassi, Thera (Sri Lanka)
