श्रावस्तीनिदानम्। एकान्ते स्थिता खलु सा देवता भगवतोऽन्तिक इमां गाथामभाषत —
śrāvastīnidānam. ekānte sthitā khalu sā devatā bhagavato ’ntika imāṃ gāthām abhāṣata —
At Śrāvastī. Standing to one side, a certain deity spoke this verse in the presence of the Bhagavān:

“न मानकामस्य दमोऽस्ति,
न मौनमस्त्यसमाहितस्य।
एकोऽरण्ये विहरन् प्रमत्तः,
न मृत्युधेयस्य तरेत् पारम्” इति।
“na mānakāmasya damo ’sti,
na maunam asty asamāhitasya.
eko ’raṇye viharan pramattaḥ,
na mṛtyudheyasya taret pāram” iti.
“For one who desires conceit, there is no self-control;
for the one who doesnt concentrate mentally, there is no silence.
Dwelling alone in the forest, if heedless,
one cannot cross beyond Death's domain.”

“मानं प्रहाय सुसमाहितात्मा,
सुचेताः सर्वथा विप्रमुक्तः।
एकोऽरण्ये विहरन्नप्रमत्तः,
स मृत्युधेयस्य तरेत् पारम्” इति।
“mānaṃ prahāya susamāhitātmā,
sucetāḥ sarvathā vipramuktaḥ.
eko ’raṇye viharann apramattaḥ,
sa mṛtyudheyasya taret pāram” iti.
“Having abandoned conceit, with a well-concentrated mind,
of good heart, completely liberated in every way;
dwelling alone in the forest, if heedful,
one can cross beyond the pale of Death's domain.”
