Taṃ vo vadāmi bhaddaṃ vo,
yāvantettha samāgatā;
Taṇhāya mūlaṃ khaṇatha,
usīratthova bīraṇaṃ;
Mā vo naḷaṃva sotova,
māro bhañji punappunaṃ.
This salutary word I tell you, 'Do ye, as many as are here assembled, dig up the root of thirst, as he who wants the sweet-scented Usîra root must dig up the Bîrana grass, that Mâra (the tempter) may not crush you again and again, as the stream crushes the reeds.'
