  • Newari: “But happier than either of these is that person
    who has not yet been born
    and who has not even seen all the evil work
    that takes place in this world.” (Source: Newari Back Translation)

  • English: “And those who have not been born yet
    are more fortunate than those who are still alive and those who have died,
