At Sāvatthī.

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

“Those who are very confused about the teachings,

“Yesaṁ dhammā susammuṭṭhā,

who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;

paravādesu nīyare;

asleep, they have not woken up:

Suttā te nappabujjhanti,

it is time for them to wake!”

kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun”ti.

“Those who are unconfused about the teachings,

“Yesaṁ dhammā asammuṭṭhā,

who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;

paravādesu na nīyare;

they’ve woken up, they rightly know,

Te sambuddhā sammadaññā,

they live smoothly in the rough.”

caranti visame saman”ti.
