Erroneous view of selfhood and sceptical doubt,
Holding on to rituals and vows, and whatever else there be.
Freed from the four states of degeneracy,
Such a one is incapable of committing the six grave crimes.
This is a point of great merit in the Sangha.
May there be bliss by virtue of this. .
11. Ki¤càpi so kammaü karoti pàpakaü
kàyena vàcà uda cetasà và
abhabbo so tassa pañicchàdàya
abhabbatà diññhapadassa vuttà.
idam ” pi saïghe ratanaü paõãtaü
etena saccena suvatthi hotu.
Even though he commits an act of evil
Through thought, word or deed,
He is incapable of concealing it.
For it has been declared impossible
For one who has gained his vision.
This is a point of great merit in the Sangha.
May there be bliss by virtue of this.
12. Vanappagumbe yathà phåssitagge
gimhàõamàse pañhamasmiü gimhe
tathåpamaü dhammavaraü adesayã
nibbàõagàmiü paramaü hitàya
idam ” pi buddhe ratanaü paõitaü
etena saccena suvatthi hotu.
Like unto a bush in the jungle that”s in full bloom,
In the hot month of early Summer,
Such a lovely dhamma, a dhamma leading to Nibbana,
Out of highest compassion did the Lord preach.
This is a point of great merit in the Buddha.
May there be bliss by virtue of this.
13. Varo vara¤¤å varado varàharo
anuttaro dhammavaraü adesayã.
idam ” pi buddhe ratanaü paõãtaü
etena saccena suvatthi hotu.
The Buddha who is supremely noble,
As the knower, the giver and bringer of what”s noble,
Unsurpassed as he is, preached this excellently noble dhamma.
This is a point of great merit in the Buddha.
May there be bliss by virtue of this.
14. Khãõaü puràõaü navaü natthi sambhavaü
virattacittà àyatike bhavasmiü.
te khãõabãjà aviruëhicchandà
nibbanti dhãrà yathàyam padãpo.
idam ” pi saïghe ratanaü paõãtaü
etena saccena suvatthi hotu.
The past has been worn out. There”s no more new genesis.
They are with detached thoughts for a future birth.
Their seeds are totally destroyed.
Their wishes and longings will never sprout again.
These great wise men will completely pass away,
Like the blowing out of the flame of this lamp.
This is a point of great merit in the Sangha.
May there be bliss by virtue of this.

Of the land below or of the skies above,
Let us pay homage to the Buddha,
The Tathàgata who is honoured by gods and men.
May there be success, security and prosperity.

17. Yànãdha bhåtàni samàgatàni
