5: The Chapter about Fools – 38
So appaduṭṭhassa narassa dussati,
One offends against the inoffensive one,
suddhassa posassa anaṅgaṇassa,
a purified and passionless person,
tam-eva bālaṁ pacceti pāpaṁ,
that wicked deed (then) returns to the fool,
sukhumo rajo paṭivātaṁ va khitto. [125]
like fine dust that is thrown against the wind.
Atha pāpāni kammāni karaṁ bālo na bujjhati,
The fool does not understand the wicked deeds he is doing,
sehi kammehi dummedho aggidaḍḍho va tappati. [136]
the stupid one is consumed by his deeds as (by) a burning fire.
Etha passathimaṁ lokaṁ cittaṁ rājarathūpamaṁ,
Come, look upon this world adorned like a king’s gilded chariot,
yattha bālā visīdanti – natthi saṅgo vijānataṁ. [171]
where fools become depressed – there is no bond for those who understand.
Na ve kadar i yā devalokaṁ vajanti,
The miserly go not to the world of the gods,
bālā have nappasaṁsanti dānaṁ,
fools surely do not praise giving,
dhīro ca dānaṁ anumodamāno,
but the wise one rejoices in giving,
teneva so hoti sukhī parattha. [177]
and through that he is happy hereafter.
Sāhu dassanam-ar i yānaṁ, sannivāso sadā sukho,
Meeting with the noble is good, living together (with them) is always pleasant,
adassanena bālānaṁ niccam-eva sukhī siyā. [206]
through not meeting foolish people one will constantly be happy.
