Translation
| a1 | ... whosever's intention it is to put an end to the master... |
|---|---|
| a2 | ... not bearing the separation from each other ... |
| a3 | ... Brahmā-god, giver of the life of knowledge... |
| a4 | ... endure the renouncement of the sons renouncing, teacher...! |
| a5 | ... it too... patience... |
| a5+ | Then, the Brahmin Bādhari, by his nature decrepit, having seen his own separation (from the students), with tears in his eyes, struck by old age, ... says: |
| a7 | In the mandodhariṃ-tune: I [am] decrepit by old age and no more able to walk in order to see the good teacher |
| a7+ | ... I am dead... |
| b1 | ... to whatever extent pupils can be brought to awareness by a teacher, (that) I have made you aware of ... |
| b1+ | If... |
| b2 | In addition, sons, I... in the Dakṣiṇāpatha-region... of beings... many/much worthy... |
| b3 | If you [pl.] (now leave me alone and) go to the Buddha, the teacher, in order to leave the house, with many indeed the question will arise: |
| b4 | ... having left (Bā)dhari... (the students) exit home. Having renounced brahminhood, they seize sagehood. |
| b5 | When you [pl.] come close (to the Buddha, the teacher, sitting surrounded by a large crowd), then you [pl.] (must try to see) the thirty-(two marks) on his body. |
| b6 | flat all around like the front of a mirror |
| b7 | his heels slender. 4. Soft like silk ... |
