બો તવો હોઈ. ૬
ana sana munoariyä, vitti sankhevanam rasachchäo; käya kileso sanlinayä ya, bajjho tavo hoi. 6

પાયચ્છિન્નેં વિણઓ, વેયાવચ્ચ તહેવ સજ્જાઓ, ઝાણ ઉસ્સગ્ગો વિ અ, અભિંતરઓ તવો હોઈ. ૭
päyachchhitam vinao, veyävachcham taheva sajjhäo; jhänam ussaggo vi a, abbhintarao tavo hoi. 7

નાયવ્યો વીરિઆયારો. ૮
