“Yassa sabrahmacārīsu, Whoever has no respect
gāravo nūpalabbhati; for their spiritual companions
Parihāyati saddhammā, falls away from the true teaching,
maccho appodake yathā. like a fish in a little puddle.
Yassa sabrahmacārīsu, Whoever has no respect
gāravo nūpalabbhati; for their spiritual companions
Na virūhati saddhamme, doesn’t thrive in the true teaching,
khette bījaṁva pūtikaṁ. like a rotten seed in a field.
Yassa sabrahmacārīsu, Whoever has no respect
gāravo nūpalabbhati; for their spiritual companions
Ārakā hoti nibbānā, is far from extinguishment,
dhammarājassa sāsane. in the teaching of the Dhamma king.
Yassa sabrahmacārīsu, Whoever does have respect
gāravo upalabbhati; for their spiritual companions
Na vihāyati saddhammā, doesn’t fall away from the true teaching,
maccho bavhodake yathā. like a fish in plenty of water.
Yassa sabrahmacārīsu, Whoever does have respect
gāravo upalabbhati; for their spiritual companions
So virūhati saddhamme, thrives in the true teaching,
khette bījaṁva bhaddakaṁ. like a fine seed in a field.
Yassa sabrahmacārīsu, Whoever does have respect
gāravo upalabbhati; for their spiritual companions
Santike hoti nibbānaṁ, is close to extinguishment
dhammarājassa sāsane”ti. in the teaching of the Dhamma king.
