經律異相 22.19

22.19

賢聖德難量　八直無上道
是為梵沙門　如來口所宣
覩此形雖小　以果賢聖道
是故今自歸　梵志何為嗤

"The virtue of the noble sages is difficult to measure,
The eightfold upright and unsurpassable path.
This is the true brahma-śramaṇa,
Proclaimed by the Tathāgata's own mouth.
Seeing this form, though small,
He has already attained the noble path.
Therefore, I now take refuge;
Why do you brahmacārins sneer?"
