佛者最極尊於世間　諦無有能過佛之前
佛者最極尊於人天　諦諸法之王無上田
法者最極尊於世間　諦無有能過法之前
法者最極尊於人天　諦斷諸縛結永息田
僧者最極尊於世間　諦無能過有僧之前
僧者最極尊於人天　諦美福第一無上田

"The Buddha is the most supremely honoured in the world; / in truth, none can surpass the Buddha. / The Buddha is the most supremely honoured among gods and humans; / in truth, he is the King of all phenomena, the unsurpassable field [of merit]. / The Dharma is the most supremely honoured in the world; / in truth, none can surpass the Dharma. / The Dharma is the most supremely honoured among gods and humans; / in truth, it cuts off all fetters, the field of eternal cessation. / The Saṅgha is the most supremely honoured in the world; / in truth, none can surpass the Saṅgha. / The Saṅgha is the most supremely honoured among gods and humans; / in truth, it is the foremost of sweet blessings, the unsurpassable field [of merit]."
