38. Vārī pukkharapatte vā,<br />
ārāgre-r-iva sāsavo,<br />
yo na lippati kāmesu,<br />
tam ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ.<br />
Like water on the lotus leaf,<br />
like a mustard seed on a needle,<br />
he who is unsmeared by desires,<br />
that one I say is a brahmin.<br />
39. Udayaṁ tapati ādicco,<br />
ratrim ābhāti candramā,<br />
sannaddho khattiyo tapati,<br />
jhāyiṁ tapati brāhmaṇo,<br />
atha sabbe ahorātte<br />
Buddho tapati tejasā.<br />
The sun is radiant when it rises,<br />
the moon shines by night,<br />
the accoutred noble is radiant,<br />
the meditating brahmin is radiant,<br />
yet during every day and night<br />
the Buddha is radiant through his power.
