क्षीणं पुराणं नवो नास्ति संचयो विमुक्ता आयतिके भवस्मिं ।
ते क्षीणबीजा अविरूढिधर्मा निर्वान्ति धीरा यथ तैलदीपा ।
इदं पि संघे रतनं प्रणीतं एतेन सत्येन सुस्वस्ति भोतु मनुष्यतो वा अमनुष्यतो वा ॥ १३ ॥

kṣīṇaṃ purāṇaṃ navo nāsti saṃcayo vimuktā āyatike bhavasmiṃ |
te kṣīṇabījā avirūḍhidharmā nirvānti dhīrā yatha tailadīpā |
idaṃ pi saṃghe ratanaṃ praṇītaṃ etena satyena susvasti bhotu manuṣyato vā amanuṣyato vā || 13 ||

Their old karma is exhausted; there is no fresh accumulation of it. Immune from future existence, with the seed of life destroyed, and no longer in a condition of growth, the wise pass out like a lamp. This choicest gem is in the Sangha. By this truth let blessing come from man and from demon. (13)
