Original text and translations

English text

The evil which I have heaped up 
Through my ignorance and foolishness -
evil in the world of everyday experience,
As well as evil in understanding and intelligence -
All that I acknowledge to the Protectors.

Standing before them
With hands raised in reverence,
And terrified of suffering,
I pay salutations again and again.

May the Leaders receive this kindly,
Just as it is, with its many faults!
What is not good, O Protectors,
I shall not do again.
