439 “Pucchāmi taṃ gotama bhūripañña,

Anāvaṭaṃ bhagavato ñāṇadassanaṃ;

Kathaṃvidhaṃ sīlavantaṃ vadanti,

Kathaṃvidhaṃ paññavantaṃ vadanti;

Kathaṃvidho dukkhamaticca iriyati,

Kathaṃvidhaṃ devatā pūjayantī”ti.

440 “Yo sīlavā paññavā bhāvitatto,

Samāhito jhānarato satīmā;

Sabbassa sokā vigatā pahīnā,

Khīṇāsavo antimadehadhārī.

441 Tathāvidhaṃ sīlavantaṃ vadanti,

Tathāvidhaṃ paññavantaṃ vadanti;

Tathāvidho dukkhamaticca iriyati,

Tathāvidhaṃ devatā pūjayantī”ti.
