Translation

(THE NOBLE MEN ARE RARE)

‘In the mind, speech and body, overflowing with the nectar of merits; pleasing all the three worlds with their rows of helping acts; always feeling gladness in the heart by extolling the minutest atom like virtues of others as big as a mountain, and praising them everywhere’ How many men are noble like this? ॥ 70 ॥
