“किंसु अजरसा साधु, किंसु साधु अधिट्ठितं; किंसु नरानं रतनं, किंसु चोरेह्यहारियन्”ति।
“Kiṁsu ajarasā sādhu, kiṁsu sādhu adhiṭṭhitaṁ; Kiṁsu narānaṁ ratanaṁ, kiṁsu corehyahāriyan”ti.
“What’s good because it never gets old? What's good when committed? What is people’s treasure? What can thieves never take?”
“सीलं अजरसा साधु, सद्धा साधु अधिट्ठिता; पञ्ञा नरानं रतनं, पुञ्ञं चोरेह्यहारियन्”ति।
“Sīlaṁ ajarasā sādhu, saddhā sādhu adhiṭṭhitā; Paññā narānaṁ ratanaṁ, puññaṁ corehyahāriyan”ti.
“Ethics are good because they never grow old. Faith is good when committed. Wisdom is people’s treasure. Merit’s what thieves can never take.”
