                                                       Atta dantassa posassa

                                                                   Na Maro saha brahmuna 

                                                      Jitam apa jitam kayira

                                                                  tatha rupassa jantuno

                                                                           5, 6 

BE RATHER A VICTOR OF YOUR SELF , THAN AVICTOR OF OTHERS ,
NONE CAN TURN INTO A DEFEAT A SELF VICTORY    

  Meaning -Self conquest is far greater than the conquest of all other folk ; neither a god nor
                     a gandhabba , nor Mara with Brahma , can win back the victory of such a person 
                     who is self - subdued and ever lives in restraint.
