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

“Yesaṁ dhammā susammuṭṭhā,
“Those who are utterly muddled about things,
“Those who are very confused about 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 asammuṭṭhā,
“Those who aren’t muddled about things,
“Those who are unconfused about 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.”
