Translation
| a1 | ... I confess... May there be a confession from me to you, lord! |
|---|---|
| a1+ | With my own terrible heart, I cut off the hopes of all the beings of saṃsāra. |
| a2+ | Of father, mother, sons - the names of all of them I cut off. |
| a3+ | With the love of sons, they hid me in their heart like their own life. |
| b1+ | Not within long, I killed their torturable hearts |
| b2+ | My heart did not desist for even a moment from bringing suffering to others. |
| b3 | Killing, hitting, abusing... |
Other
| a1 | ... bekenne ich zu dir, o Gott: Möge mir Verzeihung sein! (Schmidt 1974: 415) |
