(4) Bow ye to the supreme Buddha, who was without lust, 

 decrepitude and its concomitant ills, the donor of donors, the 

 admiration of the good, who arrived at the goal of metem- 

 psychosis ; (3) who pleased the priesthood, was houseless, a 

 stranger to distress ; (2) who was humble and agreeable, gave 

 consolation to men, and procured Nivana ; (1) who was easily 

 satiated, quick of perception, self-denying, renowned in the world, 

 and (who moreover) granted Brahma's prayer.

(4) Bow ye to the feet of Buddha, who was a treasure of 

 compassion, successful in profound meditation (that which brings 

 its object fully and undisturbedly before the mind), and pleased all 

 men ; (3) who was like the new brilliant moon, did not secretly sin, 

 and gave Nivana ; (2) who loved not sinful men, and practically 

 carried out his profound doctrines ; (1) who could dive with his 

 into other's minds, and who cared " not a straw " (2^ gr.) for the 

 impure human body which the ignorant regard as a banner.

(4) Bow ye to him who had no impediment against seeing, was 

 unintoxicated with vain-glory, the chief of Nivana, resident in 

 forests, and who enjoyed the food of meditation ; (3) who was not 

 enticed away by desires, was deserving of offerings, worthy of 

 adoration, and had no lusts ; (2) who was the (victorious) banner 

 of the world, who obtained the fruitful Nivana, enjoyed laudable 

 prosperity, subjugated evil concupiscence and all improper desires, 

 ceased to wander (in the regions of metempyschosis), was able to 

 convert men, and was self-denying and omniscient.
