佛初說法時 爾時我不見 如是展轉聞
佛在波羅㮈 佛為五比丘 初開甘露門
說四真諦法 苦集滅道諦 阿若憍陳如
最初得見道 八萬諸天眾 皆亦入道跡

“When the Buddha first preached the Dharma, / I did not see it at that time; / Having heard it passed on in this manner: / The Buddha was in Vārāṇasī. / For the sake of the five monks, / The Buddha first opened the gate of ambrosia, / Preaching the Dharma of the four noble truths: / The truths of suffering, origin, cessation, and path. / Ājñāta-Kauṇḍinya / Was the first to attain the vision of the Way; / Eighty thousand hosts of devas / Also entered upon the path of the Way.”
