Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Yesaṁ dhammā susammuṭṭhā,

“Those who are very confused about the teachings

paravādesu nīyare;

may be led astray by the doctrines of others.

Suttā te nappabujjhanti,

Asleep, they have not woken up:

kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun”ti.

it is time for them to wake!”

“Yesaṁ dhammā asammuṭṭhā,

“Those who are unconfused about the teachings,

paravādesu na nīyare;

Te sambuddhā sammadaññā,

They have woken up, they rightly know,

caranti visame saman”ti.
