我當觀察彼　制彼愚夫者
見愚瞋熾盛　智以靜默伏
非力而為力　是彼愚癡力
愚癡違遠法　於道則無有
若使有大力　能忍於劣者
是則為上忍　無力何有忍
於他極罵辱　大力者能忍
是則為上忍　無力何有忍
於己及他人　善護大恐怖
知彼瞋恚盛　還自守靜默
於二義俱備　自利亦利他
謂言愚夫者　以不見法故
愚夫謂勝忍　重增於惡口
未知忍彼罵　於彼常得勝
於勝已行忍　是名恐怖忍
於等者行忍　是名忍諍忍
於劣者行忍　是名為上忍

"'I shall observe him, / and subdue that fool: / seeing the fool's anger blazing fiercely, / the wise one subdues it with silent stillness. / What is not strength yet regarded as strength, / is the strength of that fool; / the fool defies and strays far from the Dharma, / having nothing to do with the Way. / If one who possesses great strength / is able to be forbearing toward the inferior, / this then is supreme forbearance; / without strength, how could there be forbearance? / In the face of extreme revilement from another, / the one with great strength is able to be forbearing; / this then is supreme forbearance; / without strength, how could there be forbearance? / Toward oneself and toward others, / well protect against great terrors; / knowing that the other's anger is blazing fiercely, / return to guard one's own silent stillness. / Thus both benefits are fully provided, / benefiting oneself and also benefiting others. / The one who is called a fool, / is so because he does not see the Dharma. / The fool thinks he has overcome forbearance, / and redoubles his foul speech; / he does not know that by enduring his revilement, / one always triumphs over him. / Practicing forbearance toward the superior / is named forbearance born of fear; / practicing forbearance toward an equal / is named forbearance to end dispute; / practicing forbearance toward an inferior, / this is named supreme forbearance.'"
