| a1 | ... I would like to proclaim to others. [9d] He now achieved (omniscience) ... |
|---|---|
| a2 | ... (two strophes) he spoke in the assembly, with deep meaning, he did not hide the meanings in the mind, |
| a2+ | he proclaimed them (to the pupils). [10d] |
| a3 | ... as the way of the flamingos to the pond, which [way] the sage from the Śākya [community] has reached with concentrated mind, this [way] he proclaims ... [11d] ... |
| a4 | The one seeing (birth, old age and) the ending, this one tells the way to the benefit of all beings, the always loving ... |
| a4+ | ... the horrible flood. |
| a5 | This second strophe he spoke. [12d] This, as it were, the Buddha had these beings know: this way ... |
| a6 | Like (the flamingos), tortured by the heat [and] tormented by thirst, enter into the cold water in the pond, having stepped down trustingly, [13d] ... |
| a7 | To the Nirvāṇa-pond all these go on the eightfold way. On which way I myself have stridden the sea of birth, on this same [way] ... [14d] |
| a8 | Make (all effort) with vigour, I [am] your support. But not long, [then] I will become extinct [and] after that remorse will be yours. |
| a8+ | The only passable (way) ... he will still be seen, |
| b1 | but I will not see it [any more]. [15d] The only passable one, why is he called the only way? He alone pulls the being from the enmity of the kleśas ... ... by letting it [the beings] stride the sea [of birth] alone, [by letting] it entirely dry up the tree of the kleśas by itself. |
| b2 | [16d] |
| b2+ | It brings the sole truth to the noble ones, (the only passable way,) ... the only passable way. |
| b3 | It is for obtaining the one way, the only passable way, also [it is] the sole making of consciousness and knowlegdge... [17d] ... |
| b4 | ... On this way alone the omniscient ones stride, only on this [way] the Arhats [stride]. Not (on the way?) of the Tīrthas, not (on the one) of the outsiders ... [18d] |
| b5 | Some beings had missed the ways due to ignorance. |
| b6 | Having entered (into the) nets of the views ... ... That from eight steps have driven away the kleśas [and] are standing in the last existence. [19d] Those having reached the Nirvāṇa, themselves ... |
| b7 | ... the Omniscient (made) the prophecy: when this one’s life ends, (he will be), when he dies, from the state of the Naivasaṃjñānāsaṃjñā ... [20d] ... |
| b8 | ... [21b] If he kills animals before that, flying ones, walking ones .... |

| a2 | ... (zwei Strophen) sprach er in der Versammlung mit tiefem Sinn, nicht verbarg er die Bedeutungen im Geiste, er trug sie (den Schülern) vor. (Schmidt 1974: 402) |
|---|---|
| a7 | Zu dem Nirvāṇa-Teich gehen alle diese auf dem achtfachen Weg. (Schmidt 1974: 275) |
| a8 | Exert all zeal energetically [with] me as your [pl.] help, since before long I will go to extinction [and] after that you [pl.] will have regret. (cf : ii, 48) (Peyrot 2013b: 373) |
| b1 | Der allein gangbare, warum wird er der alleinige Weg genannt? (Schmidt 1974: 224) |
| b3 | Zur Erreichung des e i n e n Weg[zieles] dient [wtl. wendet sich] der allein gangbare Weg. (Schmidt 1974: 280) |
