“This is indeed that Jeta’s Grove,

“Idañhi taṁ jetavanaṁ,

frequented by the Saṅgha of hermits,

isisaṅghanisevitaṁ;

where the King of Dhamma stayed:

Āvutthaṁ dhammarājena,

it brings me joy!

pītisañjananaṁ mama.

Deeds, knowledge, and principle;

Kammaṁ vijjā ca dhammo ca,

ethical conduct, an excellent livelihood;

sīlaṁ jīvitamuttamaṁ;

by these are mortals purified,

Etena maccā sujjhanti,

not by clan or wealth.

na gottena dhanena vā.

That’s why an astute person,

Tasmā hi paṇḍito poso,

seeing what’s good for themselves,

sampassaṁ atthamattano;

would examine the teaching properly,

Yoniso vicine dhammaṁ,

and thus be purified in it.

evaṁ tattha visujjhati.

Sāriputta has true wisdom,

Sāriputtova paññāya,

ethics, and also peace.

sīlena upasamena ca;

Any bhikkhu who has crossed over

Yopi pāraṅgato bhikkhu,

can at best equal him.”

etāvaparamo siyā”ti.
