വിശ്വാസത്തോടെ സ്വകാര്യമായി തമ്മിൽ പറഞ്ഞ ചെറിയൊരു നിന്ദാവാക്ക് എവിടെയോ ആരോടെയോ ആ ദുഷ്ടാത്മാവ് വെളിപ്പെടുത്തട്ടെ—എന്റെ ആര്യ സഹോദരൻ അയക്കപ്പെട്ടത് ആരുടെ സമ്മതത്താലോ; അങ്ങനെ വിശ്വാസഭംഗത്തിന്റെ പാപം അവനിൽ പതിക്കട്ടെ.
May the one who counselled the exile of my esteemed brother, acquire the sin in the same way as a wicked-minded person, who divulges the words of abuse secretly confided in him by his friends.
