Narā dukkhaṃ nigacchanti, tedha socanti māṇavā ⁴.

Dvayena bālā haññanti, yathābhūtaṃ adassino.

663.

‘‘Ye ca dukkhe sukhasmiñca, majjhe sibbinimaccagū;

Ṭhitā te indakhīlova, na te unnataonatā.

664.

‘‘Na heva lābhe nālābhe, na yase na ca kittiyā;

Na nindāyaṃ pasaṃsāya, na te dukkhe sukhamhi.

Ayasova seyyo viññūnaṃ, na yaso appabuddhinaṃ.

668.

‘‘Dummedhehi pasaṃsā ca, viññūhi garahā ca yā;

Garahāva seyyo viññūhi, yaṃ ce bālappasaṃsanā.

669.

‘‘Sukhañca kāmamayikaṃ, dukkhañca pavivekiyaṃ;

Pavivekadukkhaṃ seyyo, yaṃ ce kāmamayaṃ sukhaṃ.

670.

‘‘Jīvitañca adhammena, dhammena maraṇañca yaṃ;

Maraṇaṃ dhammikaṃ seyyo, yaṃ ce jīve adhammikaṃ.

Caranti loke asitā, natthi tesaṃ piyāpiyaṃ.

672.

‘‘Bhāvayitvāna bojjhaṅge, indriyāni balāni ca;

Pappuyya paramaṃ santiṃ, parinibbantināsavā’’ti.

Revato ceva godatto, therā dve te mahiddhikā;

Cuddasamhi nipātamhi, gāthāyo aṭṭhavīsatīti.
