(4) Bow ye to Buddha, who was pure, and wishful of subju- 

 gating the passions and evil desires ; (3) who died to die no more, 

 was without desires, fond of the forest, benevolent, and unqua- 

 lified for the laity ; (2) who was robed, handsome, firm, and 

 unintoxicated with vanity, and had tenfold-wisdom ; (1) who 

 possessed six species of intelligence superior to that of all men, 

 was infinite in wisdom, and obtained offerings from gods and men.

(3) Bow ye (to Buddha) who will be born no more, the father 

 of the priesthood ; (1) the chiefest of the chief — chief by reason of 

 his moral and religious lectures — who extinguishes sorrow —
