Verse 103

        भीरुताणो भीरुलेणो,
        भीरुसरणदायको;
        भीरु-आरक्खको भिय्यो,
        बुद्धं तं पणमाम्यहं.
    
        Bhīrutāṇo bhīruleṇo,
        Bhīrusaraṇadāyako;
        Bhīru-ārakkhako bhiyyo,
        Buddhaṃ taṃ paṇamāmyahaṃ.
    
        I bow to the Buddha,
        Who sheltered the scared, like a safe cave for the frightened,
        A patron for the fearful,
        And a strong protector for the timid.
