| a1 | (he rose), [and] hungry and thirsty he saw these artisans standing nearby, |
|---|---|
| a1+ | and crushing those very four, all together, with his paw he killed them |
| a2 | and ate them all up. || In the Y.-tune: || Their craftsmanship was good; |
| a2+ | from the broken bones they let grow the lion, |
| a3 | [But] the lion’s eating/hunger they had not considered, [and] they became food for their lion because of their ignorance. |
| a3+ | The broken bones of the lion they had gathered, |
| a4 | with craftsmanship they had restored him, |
| a4+ | [but their] own bones they brought (in place of) the lion’s bones |
| a5 | [and] they perished. Therefore wisdom is the very best in the world; [only] the one who has knowledge, he is of human birth. |
| a6 | Puṇyavān [“the Virtuous”] speaks: |
| a6+ | Whatever you each have said for yourselves as a praise of visual beauty, energy, skill (and wisdom), in my opinion virtue alone is the very best of all here. |
| b1 | For: || In the N.-tune: || |
| b2 | visual beauty and a hero’s strength are the fruit of virtues; if one is born into a noble incarnation, |
| b2+ | if one becomes a rich Koṭīśvara [“Lord over 10 000 000”], |
| b3 | a good reputation comes, |
| b3+ | virtues being the way to universal domination and the divine world. |
| b4 | The coming together with the good ones [and] the reaching of the Nirvāṇa, virtue facilitates [this] without labour. |
| b4+ | By virtue empowered the world-ruling king with [his] entourage walks to the airspace; |
| b5+ | the people on the four continents, as a fruit of virtue, submit to him. |
| b6 | A person that has practiced virtue, does not come into misery, does not come into hardship. With the army of virtue all enemies |

| a2+ | Gut war ihre Kunstfertigkeit. Aus den zerbrochenen Knochen ließen sie den Löwen erwachsen/stellten sie sich einen Löwen her, [aber] an die Möglichkeit, dass sie von dem Löwen gefressen werden könnten [wtl. das Gefressenwerdenkönnen] hatten sie nicht gedacht, [und so] wurden sie Nahrung ihres Löwen durch [ihre] Dummheit. (Schmidt 1974: 180, 440) |
|---|---|
| a3+ | Sie sammelten die zerbrochenen Knochen des Löwen und stellten ihn mit Kunstfertigkeit [wieder] her. / Die zerbrochenen Knochen des Löwen haben [hatten?] sie gesammelt, mit Kunstfertigkeit hatten sie ihn [wieder]hergestellt, [aber] die eigenen Knochen brachten sie (an die Stelle) der Löwenknochen [und] gingen zugrunde. (Schmidt 1974: 83, 127, 304-5, 388, 495) |
