Provisions
“කිංසු බන්ධති පාථේය්යං, කිංසු භෝගානමාසයෝ; කිංසු නරං පරිකස්සති, කිංසු ලෝකස්මි දුජ්ජහං; කිස්මිං බද්ධා පුථූ සත්තා, පාසේන සකුණී යථා”ති.
“How should provisions be tied up? What’s the lair of wealth? What drags a person around? What in the world is hard to give up? What are many beings tied up with, like birds in a snare?”
“සද්ධා බන්ධති පාථේය්යං, සිරී භෝගානමාසයෝ; ඉච්ඡා නරං පරිකස්සති, ඉච්ඡා ලෝකස්මි දුජ්ජහා; ඉච්ඡාබද්ධා පුථූ සත්තා, පාසේන සකුණී යථා”ති.
“Provisions should be tied up with faith. Glory is the lair of wealth. Desire drags a person around. Desire in the world is hard to give up. Many beings are tied up with desire, like birds in a snare.”
