a1	... may he not neglect (to) meditate... ... study! ... ... there are no worries... (for the master?)...
a2	whose self is reflecting, this stanza has been the Prātimokṣa under the Buddha Lord Kanakamuni ... The not-doing of all evil...
a3	... pureness... the teaching of the Buddha... ... 7. This stanza was the Prātimokṣa under the Buddha Kāśyapa ... (self-control concerning the body [is] good)
a4	(good) [is] self-control (in talking), in thinking self-control [is] good, self-control [is] good in everything ... A self-controlled monk is good in everything...
a5	... deligently controlling oneself, one should do no evil with the body either. ...
a5+	... of these good deeds...
a6	These two Ślokas were the first Prātimokṣa under the Śākyamuni Buddha...
b1	... the Prātimokṣa, to such a degree he grew. ... insulted may one never insult ...
b2	... may he also be without enmity against the offended. Always happy, may he himself not do... blamed by others...
b3	... by [the Buddhas] having a great nature; a Prātimokṣa has been presented and announced by the magnanimous (?) ones...
b4	... the venerable Buddhas and disciples of the Buddhas who, having become venerable,... ...
b5	Because endowed with (shame and modesty), they reach the uncreated Start! Leave (home)! Attach yourself to the teaching of the Buddha!
b5+	Destroy the army of death like an elephant a hut made of reed!
b6	He who in the discipline of the law will not be careless, who has taken away the cycle of birth, he will go to the end of sorrow.
