Who have compassion for all beings,
And are respectful in the presence of the Sugata. {143}

To those who teach the Dharma in the center of an assembly,
Without impediment, their minds focused,
And who use quintillions of parables, {144}

“And to those who with hands in homage upon their head
Are searching for the state of omniscience,
