Translation

a1 ... not having the trust of friends, treated badly by all man ...
a2 [5d]
a2 ... he turns towards, [but] he keeps away from the assembly. Towards his own appearance ...
a2+ Of some among man...
a3 ... [6d]
a3 ... the possessions to be gained, [and] to be [re]born in the world of gods. ... The Buddha spoke: Of whomever (here) ... (whose) desire in this birth is happiness and pleasure, by him the [morally] purest rules must be obeyed, life-long.
a4 [7d]
a4+ Among the gods ...
a5 ... must the rules be observed. With regard to this one here, he who fulfills all wishes, the Buddha spoke two strophes in the assembly.
a6 [9d]
a6 ... being praised by others, the gaining of possessions and the being [re]born in another birth in the world of gods.
a7 [10d]
a7 ... (the noble one), who is equipped with [in]sight, he alone obtains welfare here in this world.
a7+ (Like) the Cintā(maṇi) ... the good fortune (of the world) giving, like the goddess Śrī, and fulfilling them, like the Buddha, over and above the world.
a8 [11d]
a8+ At another time...
b1 [12d]
b1 ... the sufferings of hell which have to be feared the pupils saw, [and] they were full of doubt.
b1+ This (was the) conversation among themselves ...
b2 [13d]
b2 ... there are no such signs, not even for another pupil of the one who has the ten powers.
b2+ The Omniscient spoke a strophe...
b3 [14d]
b3 the body is not burned, ... and it sleeps well all together, [and] having awoken he is all the more pleased. These [are] the goods of happiness of those that have obeyed the rules.
b4 [15d]
b4 ... he sees great dangers, and when he dies, then he will as quickly as an arrow shot be [re]born in hell
b4+ and (there) he will see (many) sufferings.
b5 ... in (this) birth and in another this immoral lives in suffering. Therefore, you monks, ([moral] conduct) is [worth] more than the own dear life,
b6 ... [16d] ...
b6 He descended [and] asked the Omniscient with folded hands [about his] doubt ... for the age.
b6+ Which ... (which) treasure or which thing is hard to steal by thieves?
b7 ... [17d]
b7 ... until [that,] (the) [moral] conduct is good.
b8 ... (Knowledge is called the treasure of the humans). The good deeds are the hardest to steal by thieves. ...

Other

a2 ... ist er zugetan, von der Versammlung hält er sich fern. (Schmidt 1974: 275)
b3 ... der Körper wird nicht gequält, sondern schläft ihm angenehm bei Nacht, [und] erwacht freut er sich erst recht. (Schmidt 1974: 211)
b4 If he dies he is because of that [re]born in hell like an arrow that is shot, [and] suffers [lit. sees] many sorrows here. (cf : ii, 23) (Peyrot 2013c: 680)
b6 Er stieg herab [und] befragte den Alleswissenden mit zusammengelegten Händen über [seinen] Zweifel. (Schmidt 1974: 378)
