    • (Can we date this quote?), Laobounkird, Anisongfree (overall work in Lao), published 2015:
      ສັດຈັງ ວິຫາຍະ ມະຕິ ສັດຈະ ກະວາທະເກຕຸງ ວາທາພິໂລ ປິຕະມະນັງ ອະຕິ ອັນທະພູຕັງ ປັນຍາ ປະທີປະຊະລິໂຕ ຊິຕະວາ ມຸນັນໂທ* ຕັນເຕຊະສາ ພະວະຕຸ ເຕ ຊະຍະມັງຄະລານິ ຯ
      saccaṃ vihāya mati sacca kavādaketuṃ vādābilo pitamanaṃ ati andabūtaṃ paññā padīpajalito jitavā munando* tantejasā bavatu te jayamaṅgalāni
      *Read as ມຸນິນໂທ, and so treated below.
      With ambiguities resolved:
      saccaṃ vihāya mati sacca kavādaketuṃ vādābhiro pitamanaṃ ati andhabhūtaṃ paññā padīpajalito jitavā munindo tantejasā bhavatu te jayamaṅgalāni
      Having abandoned truth, opinionated Saccaka flaunted his theory with his mind fixed on his argument, completely mentally blind. Shining by the lamp of wisdom, the lord of the sages defeated him. May you have the blessings of success by the power of this.
