At one time, our Protector — seeing that Moggallana & Kassapa

Etena sacca-vajjena

Sotthi te hotu sabbadā.

Once, when the Dhamma King was afflicted with fever,

He had the Elder Cunda recite that very teaching with devotion.

And as he approved, he rose up from that disease.

Those diseases were abandoned by the three great seers,

Just as defilements are demolished by the Path

In accordance with step-by-step attainment.

By the saying of this truth, may you always be well.
