Who always lives as their own master?
Kiṁsu mātā pitā bhātā,
To whom do mother, father, and brothers
vandanti naṁ patiṭṭhitaṁ;
bow when they’re established?
Kiṁsu idha jātihīnaṁ,
Who here, though low born,
abhivādenti khattiyā”ti.

Samaṇā icchaṁ parijānanti,
Ascetics completely understand desire.
Samaṇānaṁ bhojissiyaṁ sadā.
Ascetics always live as their own master.
Samaṇaṁ mātā pitā bhātā,
