ते तत्र वीरा: परमासनेषु सपादपीठेष्वविशड्कमाना: । यथानुपूर्व विविशुर्नराग्रया- स्तथा महार्हेषु न विस्मयन्त:
te tatra vīrāḥ paramāsaneṣu sapādapīṭheṣv aviśaṅkamānāḥ | yathānupūrvaṃ viviśur narāgryās tathā mahārheṣu na vismayantaḥ ||
ໄວສັມປາຍະນະ ກ່າວວ່າ: ທີ່ນັ້ນ ວີຣະບຸລຸດເຫຼົ່ານັ້ນ—ຜູ້ເປັນເລີດໃນຫມູ່ນັກຮົບ—ເຂົ້າໄປໂດຍບໍ່ລັງເລ ຫຼືຫວາດຫວັ່ນ, ແລ້ວນັ່ງລົງຕາມລຳດັບເທິງບັນລັງອັນປະເສີດ ມີຄ່າສູງ ພ້ອມທີ່ວາງຕີນ, ໂດຍບໍ່ສະແດງຄວາມປະຫລາດໃຈ ດັ່ງທີ່ສົມຄວນແກ່ຜູ້ສູງສົງແລະມີວິໄນ.
