1. WHO is there that can overcome the world of the gods, of the lord of death (Yama) and of men, who knows how to expose the most delightful law, as one would flowers? l

3. =18,3

3. Fear is born of the forest (of ignorance); so cut down not (only) the trees of the forest, but all that appertains to the forest (i.e., the roots), and then the Çramana will find nirvâṇa.

5. =18,5

5 (285). Cut out the love of self as you would an autumn lotus; cherish the road of peace on account of the nirvâṇa which the Victorious One has explained.

6. =18,6

6 (51). Like a pretty flower, of pleasing colour but without scent, are the agreeably spoken but fruitless words of one who does not act (accordingly).

7 (49). As the bee, which harms neither the colour nor the scent of the flower, but having sucked it flies away, so let the Muni walk through a village.

yathāpi bhramaraḥ puṣpād varṇagandhāv aheṭhayan |
paraiti rasaṃ ādāya tathā grāmān muniś caret |18,8|

猶如蜂採華不壞色與香

khu ba bźibs nas ’phur ba ltar || de bźin thub pa groṅ du rgyu ||⁸

8. =18,8

8 (50). Remarking not the sins of others, and what they have done or left undone, one should remark what he himself does right or wrong.

ātmanas tu samīkṣeta samāni viṣamāni ca |18,9|

不違他好惡勿觀作不作

9. =18,9

9 (58). As on piles of filth and in dirty water grows, unaffected by them, the padma, pure, sweet-smelling, and lovely,

yathāpi puṣparāśibhyaḥ kuryān mālā guṇān bahūn |
evaṃ jātena martyena kartavyaṃ kuśalaṃ bahu |18,10|

10. =18,12

10 (59). So the disciple of the perfect Buddha shines by his wisdom among other men, who are blind and (like) a heap of filth.

11. =18,13 12. =18,10 13. =18,11

11 (53). As out of a heap of flowers many garlands are made, so when a man has been born he can do many virtuous deeds.
12 (377). As the vakula plant in summer sheds all its flowers, so let the Bhixu drop passions, hatred, and ignorance.
13 (47). A man whose mind is troubled, like one gathering flowers, the lord of death carries him off as the flood does a sleeping village.
