經律異相 22.19

22.19

"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?"
