267. Sāvatthiyaṃ jetavane. Atha kho sakko devānamindo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṃ ṭhito kho sakko devānamindo bhagavantaṃ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi –

‘‘Kiṃsu chetvā sukhaṃ seti, kiṃsu chetvā na socati;

Kissassu ekadhammassa, vadhaṃ rocesi gotamā’’ti.

‘‘Kodhaṃ chetvā sukhaṃ seti, kodhaṃ chetvā na socati;

Kodhassa visamūlassa, madhuraggassa vāsava;

Vadhaṃ ariyā pasaṃsanti, tañhi chetvā na socatī’’ti.
