N: PTS : Thus is it, O king,....
B.B.:In this way, great king...
Because it has been explained before; just as the bird only has his wings,
etc. I think this is better than: Yes indeed. >

N: should not be worshipped thus (or in that way).
ariyassa vinaya: this is used also in other suttas when the Buddha explains
that according to Dhamma it is different from what people think. Translation

N: Ven, Narada has: But those who rightly act according to the teaching,
which is well-expounded (those are they who will reach the further shore,
[crossing] the realm of passions so hard to cross).
abide by: variant: live according to. practise.

N: Ven. Narada has: Nay, no such refuge is safe, no such refuge is supreme
(not by resorting to such refuge is one freed from all ill.)
