एकमन्तं ठिता खो सा देवता भगवतो सन्तिके इमं गाथं अभासि:
Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“न मानकामस्स दमो इधत्थि, न मोनमत्थि असमाहितस्स; एको अरञ्ञे विहरं पमत्तो, न मच्चुधेय्यस्स तरेय्य पारन्”ति।
“Na mānakāmassa damo idhatthi, Na monamatthi asamāhitassa; Eko araññe viharaṁ pamatto, Na maccudheyyassa tareyya pāran”ti.
“Someone who’s fond of conceit can’t be tamed, and someone without immersion can’t be a sage. Living negligent alone in the wilderness, they can’t pass beyond Death’s domain.”
“मानं पहाय सुसमाहितत्तो, सुचेतसो सब्बधि विप्पमुत्तो; एको अरञ्ञे विहरं अप्पमत्तो, स मच्चुधेय्यस्स तरेय्य पारन्”ति।
“Mānaṁ pahāya susamāhitatto, Sucetaso sabbadhi vippamutto; Eko araññe viharaṁ appamatto, Sa maccudheyyassa tareyya pāran”ti.
“Having given up conceit, serene within oneself, with a healthy heart, everywhere free; living diligent alone in the wilderness, they pass beyond Death’s domain.”
