"Bhante, semoga Sang Bhagavā berkenan hidup selama rentang hidup yang layak! Semoga Yang Sempurna berkenan hidup selama rentang hidup yang layak! Demi kesejahteraan dan kebahagiaan banyak orang, demi belas kasih kepada dunia, demi manfaat, kesejahteraan, dan kebahagiaan para dewa dan manusia." Demikianlah, karena pikirannya dikuasai oleh Māra.
“Sir, may the Blessed One please remain for the proper lifespan! May the Holy One please remain for the proper lifespan! That would be for the welfare and happiness of the people, out of sympathy for the world, for the benefit, welfare, and happiness of gods and humans.” For his mind was as if possessed by Māra.
