Translation

a1(Certainly) he sees there through long ages terrible, violent sufferings in hell.
a1+You, that do not have (the wish) to see these sufferings ... hear the law with love [and] with [your] whole self.
a2Look good at the one proclaiming the law, evoke the belief in him. [51d]
a2+At one time ... (the Buddha was in the Jetavana).
a3It was the son of the Śākyas, Hastaka by name, that had gone from the house to the Buddha.
a3+Without (having understood) them ... (he evaded?) and made up a lie.
a4He denied the decisions taken [saying]:
a4+Not I such (conversations?) ...
a5... the virtuous Śākyas, (having forgotten) themselves, spoke lies.
a5+(Should we) not, because of their lie, renounce ...
a6(All monks, however), that went on their almsround, heard the Tīrthas’ talk [and] reported it to the Buddha.
a6+He summoned Hastaka ... [53d]
a7Hastaka said: I say [so], o shelter and refuge, the Tīrthas shall (not) prevail in this matter. Therefore I do not tell (a lie). The Omniscient (reprimanded) ...
a8... the ragged clothes ... the one desiring extinction (my not tell) a lie.
a8+For he will eat carrion (?) ...
b1[54d] He takes the splendor from the teaching, (he does not) lead the community to fame, and increases even more the speaking (of blame) ...
b1+the (monkish) virtues.
b2If the monk (having gone) from the house for the sake of the truth loves the lying word, much (and) without (measure) ...
b3... to be, he gives others the way. [55d] [A] good word one shall utter, never shall an evil word be uttered ...
b4... [is] true, an evil word, once from the mouth (released), brings torture. This strophe he proclaimed to him ...
b5... (Therefore) the one who has not practiced [moral conduct] must practice it. You also must in every manner turn always from the lie. [56d] ...
b5+... together with the group.
b6May another man rise early, may he rub [his] body with ashes,
b6+(may he) day (and night) ...
b7... (without) sacrifice I went over from evil [57c] [and] led the way to the Brahma-world. On the almsround the master went, the Omniscient ... [57d] ...
b8... (And an evil word, even when released), one shall (not) utter again, the one releasing [it] is bound [thereby], since the noble ones do not utter it thus [in the thought:] it will be released by fools ...

Other

a1(Bestimmt) sieht er dort durch lange Zeiten schreckliche, heftige Leiden in der Hölle. (Schmidt 1974: 194, fn. 1)
a2Höret das Gesetz mit Liebe [und] mit dem ganzen Selbst! Den das Gesetz Vortragenden sehet gut an [rufet] Glauben an ihn hervor! (Schmidt 1974: 331)
a4... (wich er?) aus [und] machte sich eine Lüge zurecht. Er leugnete die gefassten Be-/Entschlüsse ab [mit den Worten]: "Nicht ich solche (Gespräche?) ..." (Schmidt 1974: 425, 442)
b6Mag ein anderer Mensch täglich schon früh aufstehen, mag er [sich] mit Asche den Körper abreiben, ... (Schmidt 1974: 326)
b7... (ohne) Opfer wurde ich von dem Übel erlöst [und] führte mich(?) [ging(?)] den Weg zur Brahmawelt. (Schmidt 1974: 300)
b8It will have been uttered by fools. (cf : ii, 32) (Peyrot 2013b: 716)
b8(Und) [ein böses Wort], auch wenn [es] entlassen wurde, soll man (nicht) wieder von sich geben; der es Entlassende wird [dadurch] gebunden, denn die Edlen geben [es] nicht so von sich [in dem Gedanken]: "Es wird von Toren entlassen sein ...". (Schmidt 1974: 212)
