English version: He said, 'World Honored One! It is truly rare that the Tathagata, Arhat, Samyak-sambuddha (one of the ten titles of the Buddha), is so skilled in explaining the faults of women and men. I shall accept and uphold this, taking refuge in the Buddha, the Dharma, and the Sangha. From now on, I will abandon the faults of lust, weapons, and so on, and compassionately benefit all sentient beings.' When these words were spoken, King Rizhi (name of a king) in the assembly, along with all the Bhikshus, Bodhisattva Mahasattvas (great Bodhisattvas), Devas, Nagas, Yakshas (guardian deities), Asuras (demi-gods), Garudas (mythical birds), Gandharvas (celestial musicians), Mahoragas (serpent deities), humans and non-humans, upon hearing what the Buddha had said, were all greatly delighted, paid their respects, and departed.
