“බීජං උප්පතතං සේට්ඨං, වුට්ඨි නිපතතං වරා; ගාවෝ පවජමානානං, පුත්තෝ පවදතං වරෝ”ති.
“A seed’s the best of things that rise. Rain’s the finest thing that falls. Cattle, of things that go forth. And a child is the finest speaker.”
“විජ්ජා උප්පතතං සේට්ඨා, අවිජ්ජා නිපතතං වරා; සඞ්ඝෝ පවජමානානං, බුද්ධෝ පවදතං වරෝ”ති.
“Knowledge is best of things that rise. Ignorance the finest thing that falls. The Saṅgha, of things that go forth. And the Buddha is the finest speaker.”
