အို ဗြဟ္မန် (အို ဗြဟ္မာ)၊ ဤအရာတို့၏ လက္ခဏာကို အမှန်တရားအတိုင်း တစ်ခုချင်းစီ နားထောင်လော့။ ယမတို့အနက် “လဃွာဟာရ” ဟူသော အစာကို ပေါ့ပါး၍ အလယ်အလတ် စားသောက်ခြင်းသာ အဓိက ဖြစ်ပြီး အခြားတို့ မဟုတ်။ နိယမတို့အနက် “အဟിംသာ” ဟူသော မထိခိုက်မညှဉ်းပန်းခြင်းသာ အမှန်တကယ် အဓိက ဖြစ်သည်၊ အို မျက်နှာလေးပါးရှိသူ။ အာသနာမှာ စိဒ္ဓ၊ ပဒ္မ၊ စിംဟ၊ ဘဒ္ရ ဟူသော လေးမျိုး ဖြစ်သည်။
