पप्रच्छ भयसंत्रस्तः किमेतदिति मे गुरो । जायंते सुमहोत्पाता दुर्निमित्तानि वै पृथक्
papraccha bhayasaṃtrastaḥ kimetaditi me guro | jāyaṃte sumahotpātā durnimittāni vai pṛthak
ကြောက်လန့်တုန်ခါလျက် သူက မေးလေ၏—“ဤအရာသည် အဘယ်နည်း၊ အရှင်ဂုရုရေ။ မဟာအပတ်အတိတ်များ ပေါ်ပေါက်လာပြီး၊ မကောင်းသော နိမိတ်လက္ခဏာများသည် တစ်မျိုးတစ်စား ခွဲခြား၍ ဖြစ်ပေါ်နေပါသည်။”
