13: The Chapter about the World – 78
Sukhā matteyyatā loke, atho petteyyatā sukhā,
Respecting one’s mother is good in the world, also respecting one’s father is good,
sukhā sāmaññatā loke, atho brahmaññatā sukhā. [332]
respecting ascetics is good in the world, also respecting (true) brahmins is good.
Yaṁ esā sahatī jammī taṇhā loke visattikā,
That one who is overcome by these low cravings and attachments in the world,
sokā tassa pavaḍḍhanti abhivaṭṭhaṁ va bīraṇaṁ. [335]
for him griefs increase like grass that has had heavy rain.
Yo cetaṁ sahatī jammiṁ taṇhaṁ loke duraccayaṁ,
Whoever overcomes this low craving in the world, which is difficult to get past,
sokā tamhā papatanti udabindu va pokkharā. [336]
griefs fall from him like a drop of water from a lotus.
Santakāyo santavāco, santavā susamāhito,
Calm in body and calm in speech, having calmness and composure,
vantalokāmiso bhikkhu upasanto ti vuccati. [378]
having thrown off worldly gain the monastic is called one at peace.
Yo have daharo bhikkhu yuñjati Buddhasāsane,
That young monastic who is devoted to the Buddha’s dispensation,
sŏ imaṁ lokaṁ pabhāseti, abbhā mutto va candimā. [382]
shines forth in this world, like the moon freed from a cloud.
Yodha dīghaṁ va rassaṁ vā aṇuṁ-thūlaṁ subhāsubhaṁ,
* Whoever in the world does not take what is not given, long, short,
loke adinnaṁ nādiyati, tam-ahaṁ brūmi brāhmaṇaṁ. [409]
small, large, attractive or unattractive, that one I say is a brahmin.
