    The subject of this sentence is the word sammāsambuddhasāvako (the disciple of the truly and completely Awakened One, nominative singular). The verb is atirocati (magnificently shines, 3rd person, singular, active, indicative, present tense). Main attribute to the verb is the noun paññāya (by wisdom, instrumental singular). There are two more attributes of place, saṅkārabhūtesu (amongst dust-like beings, locative plural) and puthujjane (amongst ordinary people, locative singular). This last noun has itself one attribute, the adjective andhabhūte (ignorant, blinded, locative singular). The adverb evaṃ (thus) introduces the sentence and connects it to the previous one (DhP 58).

    The story to this verse is identical to the previous one.
    Just as a lotus can grow in a dirty place, but does not become stained by it, so a true disciple of the Buddha lives in this world, but is not dirtied by it in any way.
