Idam-avoca Bhagavā, idaṁ vatvā Sugato athāparaṁ etad-avoca Satthā:
The Gracious One said this, and after saying this, the Fortunate One, the Teacher, said
something more:
“Araññe rukkhamūle vā, suññāgāre va bhikkhavo,
“In the wilds, at the root of a tree, or in an empty place, monks,
anussaretha Sambuddhaṁ, bhayaṁ tumhāka’ no siyā. [1]
you must recollect the Sambuddha, and there will be no fear for you.
No ce Buddhaṁ sareyyātha, lokajeṭṭhaṁ narāsabhaṁ,
if you can’t remember the Buddha, the world’s elder, the man-bull,
atha Dhammaṁ sareyyātha, niyyānikaṁ sudesitaṁ. [2]
then you must remember the Dhamma, which leads out, which is well preached.
No ce Dhammaṁ sareyyātha, niyyānikaṁ sudesitaṁ,
If you can’t remember the Dhamma, which leads out, which is well preached,
atha Saṅghaṁ sareyyātha, puññakkhettaṁ anuttaraṁ. [3]
then you must remember the Saṅgha, which is an unsurpassed field of merit.
Evaṁ Buddhaṁ sarantānaṁ, Dhammaṁ Saṅghañ-ca bhikkhavo,
Thus for those who remember the Buddha, the Dhamma, or the Saṅgha, monks,
bhayaṁ vā chambhitattaṁ vā, lomahaṁso na hessatī” ti. 2 [4]
(there will be no) fear, or terror, there will be no horror.”
