avi sahie duve vase, siodam abhocca nikkhante; egattagae pihiyacce, se abhinnayadamsane sante. And for more than a couple of years, Before renouncing, cold water He eschewed; Solitary, guarding His body (and mind), With intuition gained, and tranquil.
pudhavim ca au-kaya, teu-kayam ca vau-kayam ca; panagaim biya hariyaim, tasa-kayam ca savvaso nacca Beings earth-bodied, water-bodied, Fire-bodied, and air-bodied too,
Lichens, seeds, vegetation,
And creatures mobile, fully He perceived.

And convinced was the Lord,
With possessions, shall perish, the ignorant. Knowing the karma perfectly well, The evil the Lord forsook.
