Usually the Morning Chanting continues with the PubbabhgaNamakra-Pha The Preliminary Passagge In Homage (To The Buddha), and the Saraa-Gamana-Pha Going to the Three Refuges (p. 50). Next follows a chant, which has been announced before the Morning Chanting started and then "Sukho buddhnam uppdo ..." (p. 44). Thereafter might follow a Dhammatalk and a short meditation period (10 min. walking, 10 min. sitting). Then the Morning Chanting continues as follows. Offering Merit Ida dna-kamma nibbna-paccayo hotu, no nicca;

I must change the way I behave.
My life needs the support of others.

Can I fault myself with regard to the precepts?

Katham-bhtassa me rattin-div vtipatant ti? Kacci nu khoha sugre abhiramm ti?

What am I becoming as the days & the nights fly past? Is there an empty dwelling in which I delight?

Then a certain devata, in the far extreme of the night, her extreme radiance lighting up the entirety of Jetas Grove, approached the Blessed One. I have heard that at one time the Blessed One was staying in Savatthi at Jetas Grove, Anathapindikas monastery.
On approaching, having bowed down to the Blessed One, she stood to one side. As she was standing there, she addressed a verse to the Blessed One:
