निर्वाणमात्रेण वयं हि तुष्टा न उत्तरी प्रार्थयि नापि चिन्तयी ॥ ४३ ॥
vayaṃ ca bhagavanniha bālabuddhayo ajānakāḥ smo sugatasya śāsane |
nirvāṇamātreṇa vayaṃ hi tuṣṭā na uttarī prārthayi nāpi cintayī || 43 ||
And we were living in this world, O Lord, with dull understanding and in ignorance, under the mastership of the Sugata; for we were contented with a little of Nirvana; we required nothing higher, nor even cared for it.
