Lord Mahavira

anilena na vie na viyavae,
hariyani na chinde (na) chidavae; biyani saya vivajjayanto
saccittam naharae (je), sa bhikkhu. Who fans not the air, nor gets it fanned, Wounds not the vegetation, nor makes others
wound; Always gives up the seeds, and takes not
The live food, he is indeed the ideal monk.
vahanam tasa-thavarana hoi
pudhavi <jala > tana-kattha-nissiyanam, tamha uddesiyam na bhunje,
no vi pae na payavae (je), sa bhikkhu. Involves as that, killing of being, mobile and immobile,
Infesting earth, straw, and wood, Who accepts not the food for himself intended; Nor cooks, nor gets cooked, he is indeed the ideal
monk.
roitta Nayaputta-vayanam
appa-same mannejja chap-pi kae panca ya phase mahavvayaim
pancasava-samvarae (je), sa bhikkhu. With unshakable faith in the words of the Naya-scion, Who identifies himself with the world of sixfold
beings; And observes in full the five vows great, Restraining the five doors of influx, he is indeed
the ideal monk.
cattari vame saya kasae
dhuva-jogi ya havejja buhddha-vayane, ahane nijjaya-ruva-rayae
gihi-jogam parivajjae (je), sa bhikkhu. Giving up passions fourfold,
Absorbed always in words of the Enlightened One; Without possessions, away from silver and gold,
Who forsakes the world, he is indeed the ideal monk.
