“Āgato kho Mahāsamaṇo Māgadhānaṁ Giribbajaṁ<br />
“<strong>The</strong> <strong>Great</strong> Ascetic has come to Giribbaja in Magadha<br />
Sabbe Sañjaye netvāna, kaṁ su dāni nayissatī” ti<br />

“Nayanti ve Mahāvīrā Saddhammena Tathāgatā,<br />
“<strong>The</strong> <strong>Great</strong> Heros, the Realised Ones, lead with the True Dhamma,<br />
Dhammena nayamānānaṁ, kā usuyyā vijānatan”-ti<br />

“Manussā Dhammena kira samaṇā Sakyaputtiyā,<br />
“It seems the people and ascetics (are led) with Dhamma by the Sakyan son,<br />
nenti no adhammenā.” ti<br />
