एकमन्तं ठितो खो चन्दनो देवपुत्तो भगवन्तं गाथाय अज्झभासि:
Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho candano devaputto bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:
Standing to one side, the god Candana addressed the Buddha in verse:
“कथंसु तरति ओघं, रत्तिन्दिवमतन्दितो; अप्पतिट्ठे अनालम्बे, को गम्भीरे न सीदती”ति।
“Kathaṁsu1 tarati oghaṁ, rattindivamatandito; Appatiṭṭhe anālambe, ko gambhīre na sīdatī”ti.
“Who here crosses the flood, tireless all day and night? Who, not standing and unsupported, does not sink in the deep?”
“सब्बदा सीलसम्पन्नो, पञ्ञवा सुसमाहितो; आरद्धवीरियो पहितत्तो, ओघं तरति दुत्तरं।
“Sabbadā sīlasampanno, Paññavā susamāhito; Āraddhavīriyo pahitatto, Oghaṁ tarati duttaraṁ.
“Someone who is always endowed with ethics, wise and serene, energetic and resolute, crosses the flood so hard to cross.
विरतो कामसञ्ञाय, रूपसंयोजनातिगो; नन्दीरागपरिक्खीणो, सो गम्भीरे न सीदती”ति।
Virato kāmasaññāya, rūpasaṁyojanātigo; Nandīrāgaparikkhīṇo, so gambhīre na sīdatī”ti.
Someone who desists from sensual perception, has moved past the fetter of form, and has finished with relishing and greed does not sink in the deep.”
