Ratana Sutta
(Gems)

3.  Yaṁ kiñci vittaṁ idha vā huraṁ vā,
There’s no wealth here or beyond,

Saggesu vā yaṁ ratanaṁ paṇītaṁ; 
no sublime gem in the heavens,

Na no samaṁ atthi tathāgatena,
that equals the Realized One.

Idampi buddhe ratanaṁ paṇītaṁ; 
This sublime gem is in the Buddha:

Etena saccena suvatthi hotu.

by this truth, may you be well!

4. Khayaṁ virāgaṁ amataṁ paṇītaṁ,
Ending, dispassion, the undying, the sublime,

Yadajjhagā sakyamunī samāhito;
attained by the Sakyan Sage immersed in samādhi;

Na tena dhammena samatthi kiñci,
there is nothing equal to that Dhamma.

Idampi dhamme ratanaṁ paṇītaṁ;
This sublime gem is in the Dhamma:.

Etena saccena suvatthi hotu.
by this truth, may you be well!
