एकमन्तं ठिता खो सा देवता भगवन्तं गाथाय अज्झभासि:
Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:
Standing to one side, that deity addressed the Buddha in verse:
“अरञ्ञे विहरन्तानं, सन्तानं ब्रह्मचारिनं; एकभत्तं भुञ्जमानानं, केन वण्णो पसीदती”ति।
“Araññe viharantānaṁ, santānaṁ brahmacārinaṁ; Ekabhattaṁ bhuñjamānānaṁ, kena vaṇṇo pasīdatī”ti.
“Living in the wilderness, peaceful spiritual practitioners eat just one meal a day: so why is their complexion so clear?”
“अतीतं नानुसोचन्ति, नप्पजप्पन्ति नागतं; पच्चुप्पन्नेन यापेन्ति, तेन वण्णो पसीदति।
“Atītaṁ nānusocanti, nappajappanti nāgataṁ; Paccuppannena yāpenti, tena vaṇṇo pasīdati.
“They don’t grieve for the past, nor do they long for the future; they feed on whatever comes that day, that’s why their complexion’s so clear.
अनागतप्पजप्पाय, अतीतस्सानुसोचना; एतेन बाला सुस्सन्ति, नळोव हरितो लुतो”ति।
Anāgatappajappāya, atītassānusocanā; Etena bālā sussanti, naḷova harito luto”ti.
Because they long for the future, and grieve for the past, fools wither away, like a green reed mowed down.”

Tassuddānaṁ
ओघं निमोक्खं उपनेय्यं, अच्चेन्ति कतिछिन्दि च; जागरं अप्पटिविदिता, सुसम्मुट्ठा मानकामिना; अरञ्ञे दसमो वुत्तो, वग्गो तेन पवुच्चति।
Oghaṁ nimokkhaṁ upaneyyaṁ, Accenti katichindi ca; Jāgaraṁ appaṭividitā, Susammuṭṭhā mānakāminā; Araññe dasamo vutto, Vaggo tena pavuccati.
