एकमन्तं ठितो खो सुब्रह्मा देवपुत्तो भगवन्तं गाथाय अज्झभासि:
Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho subrahmā devaputto bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:
Standing to one side, the god Subrahmā addressed the Buddha in verse:
“निच्चं उत्रस्तमिदं चित्तं, निच्चं उब्बिग्गमिदं मनो; अनुप्पन्नेसु किच्छेसु, अथो उप्पतितेसु च; सचे अत्थि अनुत्रस्तं, तं मे अक्खाहि पुच्छितो”ति।
“Niccaṁ utrastamidaṁ cittaṁ, niccaṁ ubbiggamidaṁ1 mano; Anuppannesu kicchesu, atho uppatitesu ca; Sace atthi anutrastaṁ, taṁ me akkhāhi pucchito”ti.
“This mind is always anxious, this mind is always stressed about stresses that haven’t arisen and those that have. If there is a state free of anxiety, please answer my question.”
“नाञ्ञत्र बोज्झा तपसा, नाञ्ञत्रिन्द्रियसंवरा; नाञ्ञत्र सब्बनिस्सग्गा, सोत्थिं पस्सामि पाणिनन्”ति।
“Nāññatra bojjhā tapasā, nāññatrindriyasaṁvarā; Nāññatra sabbanissaggā, sotthiṁ passāmi pāṇinan”ti.
“Not without understanding and fervor, not without restraining the sense faculties, not without letting go of everything, do I see safety for living creatures.”
इदमवोच …पे… तत्थेवन्तरधायीति।
Idamavoca …pe… tatthevantaradhāyīti.
That is what the Buddha said. … The god vanished right there.
