Translation

a1[37d] ...
a1... (he thought): “the sensual pleasures [are] not permanent ones, nor [is] happiness everlasting ...
a2[38b] ...
a2... (for everybody) must leave his people, but by no means will he obtain great fruit out of such abandonment.
a3[38d]
a3(But whosoever) (goes) from the house, from such abandonment he will obtain great fruit [and] eternal happiness. The crude sensual pleasures ...
a4... in their smell those dignified ones, who have gone from the pool of sensual pleasures, [are] not to those ...
a5[39d] ...
a5... the fire (of sensual pleasure) glows in [his] mind, the whole body burns on him like a firebrand with passion ...
a6[40b]
a6... from (smell) [and] taste, from suffering and sorrow and from the two [sexual] kinds female and male he drives out all attachment. To whom, however, ...
a6+after (that about the sensual pleasures) he spoke this section about thirst.
a7[40d]
a7Hear this now with love! In Dharmasomas (Udānālaṅkāra) ...
a7+the God (of Gods), the Buddha, the shelter and refuge, was staying near Śrāvastī.
a8[1b] ..
a8There he summoned the pupils ...
b1(1). [2a]
b1(The thoughts) [are] to be held from the mind. [To] such minded people this ripe fruit of thought ...
b2[2c] [2d] ...
b2... here at the demand of the (teachers). All this [is] wrong. Into judgments the beings turn the thoughts ...
b2+(In) this one’s (mind) are three thoughts:
b3[3c] ...
b3one of sensual pleasures, the second, however, of malice, the third that of harm ...
b4[4a] [4b]
b4.... not from the Yakṣas. As it [is] the peculiarity of this one’s mind, by the liquor of the thoughts he [is] (intoxicated?)
b5[4d]
b5the evil flaws of the thoughts, of these beware. Then the Buddha spoke (two strophes) ...
b5+(When) the thoughtful (human, aroused by the thoughts), a being of violent passion, [is] seeing (only) the purity of this body, [then] his thirst (grows) even more ...
b6[5d] ...
b7If he is (anxious for the smothering of the thoughts, however), constantly practices a disgust [at the body], [is] constantly mindful [and] controlling all six senses in, ...
b8[6d]
b8... the Buddha. Who, however, were still beginners, they/who ... the evil thoughts ...

a8Der Gott der (Götter), der Buddha, der Schutz [und] die Zuflucht, befand sich bei Śrāvastī. Dort rief er die Schüler ... (Schmidt 1974: 379)
b3(In) diesem (Geist) wirken drei Vorstellungen: eine der Sinneslust, die zweite aber des Übelwollens, die dritte die des Leidzufügens. (Schmidt 1974: 280)
b5... die üblen Fehler der Vorstellungen, vor denen hütet euch! (Schmidt 1974: 84, 306)
b7[Wenn] er ... ständig das Abscheu-Empfinden [gegenüber dem Körper] übt, ständig bedachtsam [und] alle sechs Sinnesfunktionen im Zaum haltend[wtl. gezügelt habend] [ist], ... (Schmidt 1974: 351)
