“Kodha santusito loke,
(iccāyasmā tissametteyyo)
Kassa no santi iñjitā;
Ko ubhantamabhiññāya,
Majjhe mantā na lippati;
Kaṁ brūsi mahāpurisoti,
Ko idha sibbinimaccagā”.

“Kāmesu brahmacariyavā,
(metteyyāti bhagavā)
Vītataṇho sadā sato;
Saṅkhāya nibbuto bhikkhu,
Tassa no santi iñjitā.

So ubhantamabhiññāya,
Majjhe mantā na lippati;
Taṁ brūmi mahāpurisoti,
So idha sibbinimaccagā”ti.
Tissametteyyamāṇavapucchā dutiyā.
