    “ඛත්තියෝ ද්විපදං සේට්ඨෝ, බලීබද්දෝ චතුප්පදං; කෝමාරී සේට්ඨා භරියානං, යෝ ච පුත්තාන පුබ්බජෝ”ති.

    “An aristocrat is the best of bipeds, an ox is the best of quadrupeds, a maiden is the best of wives, and a first-born the best of sons.”

    “සම්බුද්ධෝ ද්විපදං සේට්ඨෝ, ආජානීයෝ චතුප්පදං; සුස්සූසා සේට්ඨා භරියානං, යෝ ච පුත්තානමස්සවෝ”ති.

    “A Buddha is the best of bipeds, a thoroughbred, the best of quadrupeds, a good listener is the best of wives, and the best of sons is loyal.”
