All of the Kāsi countryside:

My fee was equal to that.

Having made that my price,

the town[1](https://www.dhammatalks.org/suttas/KN/Thig/thig2%5F4.html?ref=journal.ninthheaven.co) set me as priceless in price.

But then I became disenchanted with my body,

and—disenchanted—dispassionate:

“May I not run again & again

through birth & the wandering-on.”

The three knowledges

have been realized.

The Buddha’s bidding

done.

Note

1\. Reading *nigamo* with the Thai edition. The Burmese and Sinhalese editions read *negamo,* “the townspeople.”
