9: The Chapter about Wickedness – 56
suddhī asuddhī paccattaṁ, nāñño aññaṁ visodhaye. [165]
purity and impurity come from oneself, (for) no one can purify another.
Yassa pāpaṁ kataṁ kammaṁ kusalena pithīyati –
The one whose wicked deed is covered over by a good deed –
sŏ imaṁ lokaṁ pabhāseti abbhā mutto va candimā. [173]
that one shines brightly on this world like the moon released from a cloud.
Ekaṁ dhammaṁ atītassa, musāvādissa jantuno,
For the person speaking falsely, who has transgressed in this one thing,
vitiṇṇaparalokassa, natthi pāpaṁ akāriyaṁ. [176]
who has abandoned the next world, there is no wickedness left undone.
Sabbapāpassa akaraṇaṁ, kusalassa upasampadā,
The non-doing of anything wicked, undertaking of what is good,
sacittapar i yodapanaṁ - etaṁ Buddhāna’ sāsanaṁ. [183]
the purification of one’s mind - this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
Malitthiyā duccaritaṁ, maccheraṁ dadato malaṁ,
Bad conduct is a woman’s stain, stinginess is a giver’s stain,
malā ve pāpakā dhammā asmiṁ loke paramhi ca. [242]
wicked actions are indeed stains both in this world and in the next.
Yo ca sameti pāpāni, aṇuṁ-thūlāni sabbaso –
The one who pacifies wicked deeds, small and great, in every way –
samitattā hi pāpānaṁ samaṇo ti pavuccati. [265]
through the pacifying of wicked deeds he is said to be an ascetic.
Pāpāni parivajjeti sa munī tena so muni,
The seer who rejects wicked deeds through that is (considered) a seer,
yo munāti ubho loke muni tena pavuccati. [269]
whoever understands both worlds because of that is said to be a seer.
