Danto dantehi saha purāṇajaṭilehi Vippamutto Vippamuttehi, The metre of these verses is incorrect in the posterior part of the first line. If we read Danto dantehī saha purāṇajaṭilehi Vippamuttehi (and similarly throughout) it would scan as −−¦−−¦−⏑⏑¦⏑−⏑¦⏑⏑−¦⏑−⏑¦−−¦− which would give a perfect Ariyā verse. The translation it seems to me would be better too: The Tamed One with the Tamed, with the Liberated former yogis.
