  • Kupsabiny: “(It) goes around there saying that, ‘I am saying, you people you are still young/immature, for how long will you continue to stay/live like children? And what about you who mocks/insults, for how long will you mock? And for you fools, too, for how long will you oppose words of wisdom?” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation)
  • Newari: “O [you] who lack wisdom!
    How long will you keep on living without wisdom?
