 මමයානා අහං නෙසං ජීවිතස්ස පදාතා යසස්ස ආහත්තා අථ ච පන
 නො තථා මයි නිපච්චාකාරං කරොන්ති යථා භගවති.- Puna ca paraṃ bhante, ime isidattapurāṇā thapatayo mamabhattā

 no tathā mayi nipaccākāraṃ karonti yathā bhagavati.
- Furthermore, sir, these chamberlains Isidatta and Purāṇa share my meals and my carriages. I give them a livelihood and bring them renown. And yet they don’t show me the same level of devotion that they show to the Buddha.
