Mariyādaṃ ṭhapeyyāmāti sīmaṃ ṭhapeyyāma. Yatra hi nāmāti yo hi nāma. Pāṇinā pahariṃsūti tayo vāre vacanaṃ agaṇhantaṃ pāṇinā pahariṃsu. Tadagge khoti taṃ aggaṃ katvā.

‘Let us establish boundaries’ means let us set up a boundary. ‘Where indeed’ means he who indeed. ‘Struck with the hand’ means when he did not take their word three times, they struck him with the hand. ‘From that first point on’ means taking that as the beginning.
