Translation
| a1+ | (Whosever) hand receives honor (?), allotment, harvest (?), he is without trickery, without deception. |
|---|---|
| a2+ | The one behaving the same way according to the law is one who fulfills the thought of Buddha the teacher. |
| a3+ | Thus he does not stretch himself up (= puff himself up?), |
| a4 | nor does he oppress others. |
| a4+ | To adorn the monk-virtues, he takes up the dhūtaguṇaof using only a single seat. |
| a5 | In this way, ... the dhūtaguṇaof using only one seat... |
Other
| a1+ | (Even?) if … hand that may allot honour and receive the harvest, he is without trickery [and] without deception, and by his consistent conduct according to the law, he attains the state of mind [lit. thought] of the Buddha, the teacher. (Peyrot 2013b: 674) |

| a3+ | Auf diese Weise zieht er weder sich selbst empor, noch bedrückt er andere. (Schmidt 1974: 314) |
