Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Yesaṁ dhammā appaṭividitā,
“Those who have not penetrated things,
“Those who don’t comprehend the teachings,

Paravādesu nīyare;
Who may be led into others’ doctrines,
who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;

Suttā te nappabujjhanti,
Fast asleep, they have not yet awakened:
asleep, they have not woken up:

Kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun”ti.
It is time for them to awaken. ”
it is time for them to wake!”

“Yesaṁ dhammā suppaṭividitā,
“Those who have penetrated things well,
“Those who clearly comprehend the teachings,

Paravādesu na nīyare;
Who cannot be led into others’ doctrines,
who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;

Te sambuddhā sammadaññā,
Those awakened ones, having rightly known,
they’ve woken up, they rightly know,

Caranti visame saman”ti.
Fare evenly amidst the uneven. ”
they live smoothly in the rough.”
