“How many sleep while others wake?

“Kati jāgarataṁ suttā,

How many wake among the sleeping?

kati suttesu jāgarā;

By how many do you gather dust?

Katibhi rajamādeti,

By how many are you cleansed?”

katibhi parisujjhatī”ti.

“Five sleep while others wake.

“Pañca jāgarataṁ suttā,

Five wake among the sleeping.

pañca suttesu jāgarā;

By five you gather dust.

Pañcabhi rajamādeti,

By five you’re cleansed.”
