ये युक्तयोगी मनसा सुच्छन्दसा नैष्क्रम्यिणो गौतमशासनस्मिं ।
ते प्राप्तिप्राप्ता अमृतं विगाह्य विमुक्तचित्ता निर्वृतिं भुंजमाना ।
इदं पि संघे रतनं प्रणीतं एतेन सत्येन सुस्वस्ति भोतु मनुष्यतो वा अमनुष्यतो वा ॥ १२ ॥

ye yuktayogī manasā succhandasā naiṣkramyiṇo gautamaśāsanasmiṃ |
te prāptiprāptā amṛtaṃ vigāhya vimuktacittā nirvṛtiṃ bhuṃjamānā |
idaṃ pi saṃghe ratanaṃ praṇītaṃ etena satyena susvasti bhotu manuṣyato vā amanuṣyato vā || 12 ||

Those who are devoted to endeavour, their minds intent on what is good, those who have withdrawn from the world as Gotama taught them, win the highest gain, pass to immortality, and with their hearts liberated enjoy complete release. This choicest gem is in the Sangha. By this truth let blessing come from man and from demon. (12)
