1.2.2_36

‘‘Ajjeva buddhaṃ saraṇaṃ vajāhi,
Dhammañca saṅghañca pasannacitto;
Tatheva sikkhāpadāni pañca,
Akhaṇḍaphullāni samādiyassu.

This very day with believing heart seek refuge in the Buddha, the Law, and the Order;
Likewise take upon yourself the Five Precepts, and keep them unbroken and unimpaired;
Refrain from taking life, from this moment; take not that which is not given to you in this world;
Drink not strong drink; speak not falsely; be content with your own wife.

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
