English Translation
"Just as a thief, so is the Buddha (a wise men). Know that the Tathagatas are atheists. They are men most distrusted among the people. A learned man should avoid atheists. (Note: Verses 31 to 39 appear to be interpolations, It is anachronistic to talk about Buddha in Tretayuga.)"
