diya.d.dhamanujaa ve'ttha ghaatitaa manujaadhipati

> The one had come unto the (three) refuges, the other
> had taken unto himself the five precepts.

> Unbelievers and men of evil life were the rest, not

micchaadi.t.thii ca dussilaa sesaa pasusamaa mataa

> But as for thee, thou wilt bring glory to the doctrine
> of the Buddha in manifold ways; therefore cast away
> care from the heart, O ruler of men.
