(4) Bow ye to him who, at the foot of the B6 tree, by the 

 subjugation of evil passions and lusts, attained pre-eminence, 

 who sent many to Nivana, dried the springs of sin, and was in 

 speech bold as a lion ; (3) who was of young and tender body, and 

 of superior mental and bodily accomplishments, who continued in 

 moral merit, and destroyed the morbid appetites ; (2) who was 

 pre-eminent in merit and happiness, unattracted by the female 

 sex, and peculiarly fit for Nivana ; (1) who was steady and 

 uniform in the observance of religious and moral obligations, and 

 wishful of pleasing the priesthood ; who acted up to the letter of 

 his doctrines, and was a treasury of penance.

(4) Bow ye with pleasure to him who gave Nivana and conso- 

 lation to people, had the speech of wisdom, and was the chief 

 of the world ; (3) who was very full of telesadhutanga* who 

 revealed to men the hidden treasures of morality, and did not 

 annoy or distress any being ; (2) who was the chief of men — 

 humble, and dazzling with the resulting prosperity of hundreds 

 of meritorious acts, and sinned not ; (1) who was sinless, firm 

 as Mahamera, possessed of chatussatya\ ; and for whom love 

 was begotten in the minds of wise Brahmins. 



* Telesadhutdnga are thirteen religious ordinances to be observed by 

 the priesthood, and which, with their minute subdivisions, are too 

 numerous for detail here. 



■j" Chatussatya are tour articles of belief in Buddhism, and are the 

 following :— Abelief, 1st, in that certainty of sorrow ; 2nd, that it proceeds 

 from sensual desires ; 3rd, that the subjugation of both is by Nivana ; 

 and 4th, in the means of obtaining that happy state.
