Valliya (Thag 2.24) {vv. 167-168}

What needs to be done
with firm persistence,
what needs to be done
by someone who hopes for Awakening,
	that I will do.
	I will not fail.
See: persistence & striving!

You show me the path:
	straight,
	coming ashore in the Deathless.
I, through sagacity,
will reach it, know it,
as the stream of the Ganges,
	the sea.
