If others criticize one Pare ca naṁ garahanti, who does have immersion, attā ce susamāhito; they criticize in vain, Moghaṁ pare garahanti, as one does have immersion. attā hi susamāhito”ti.

Cundo ca jotidāso ca, thero heraññakāni ca; Somamitto sabbamitto, kāḷo tisso ca kimilo; Nando ca sirimā ceva, dasa therā mahiddhikāti.
