Syair 105

 

Tidak dewa, Mara, gandhabba [*] maupun Brahma yang dapat mengubah kemenangan orang yangtelah menaklukkan dirinya sendiri.

[*] Gandhabba dalam bahasa Pali, gandharva dalam bahasa Sansekerta, artinya malaikat.

 

Dudu sawijining Dewa, Mara, utawa Gandarwa sarta Brahmana kang bisa ngowahi kemenangane wong sing wis nelukake dhiri pribadine.

 

 

Ones's own self conquered is better than all other people; not even a god, a Gandharva, not Mâara with Brahman could change into defeat the victory of a man who has vanquished himself, and always lives under restraint.

 

neva devo na gandhabbo

na ma panjangro saha brahmuna panjang

jitang apajitang kayira panjang

tatha panjangru panjangpassa jantuno
