“Punāparaṁ yadā homi, jaṭilo uggatāpano;“Then again when I was a matted-hair ascetic of severe penance, Mātaṅgo nāma nāmena, sīlavā susamāhito.
susamāhito → supamāhito (bj)Mātaṅga was my name, I was virtuous and serene.

Ahañca brāhmaṇo eko, gaṅgākūle vasāmubho;A brahmin and I both lived on a bank of the Ganges. Ahaṁ vasāmi upari, heṭṭhā vasati brāhmaṇo.I stayed upstream, the brahmin downstream.

Vicaranto anukūlamhi, uddhaṁ me assamaddasa;
Vicaranto → C2 vicāranto (pts note)Wandering along the riverbank, he saw my hermitage upstream. Tattha maṁ paribhāsetvā, abhisapi muddhaphālanaṁ.
paribhāsetvā → paribhāsitvā (sya-all, pts) | paribhāsetvā → paribhāsitvā (bj: sīmu) | paribhāsitvā → R,B,N -bhāsetvā (pts note)Then he abused and cursed me, that my head would split in seven.

Yadihaṁ tassa pakuppeyyaṁ, yadi sīlaṁ na gopaye;If I were upset with him and if I were not taking care of my ethics, Oloketvānahaṁ tassa, kareyyaṁ chārikaṁ viya.then just with a glance I could have reduced him to ashes.

Yaṁ so tadā maṁ abhisapi, kupito duṭṭhamānaso;But when he cursed me then, so angry and bitter-hearted, Tasseva matthake nipati, yogena taṁ pamocayiṁ.it fell right back on his own head: I freed him from that yoke.

Anurakkhiṁ mama sīlaṁ, nārakkhiṁ mama jīvitaṁ;I guarded my ethics, not my life. Sīlavā hi tadā āsiṁ, bodhiyāyeva kāraṇā”ti.For then I was ethical, because it was solely for awakening.”

Mātaṅgacariyaṁ sattamaṁ.
