17.7 Atulaupāsakavatthu

227.

246 Porāṇametaṃ atula,

netaṃ ajjatanāmiva;

Nindanti tuṇhimāsīnaṃ,

nindanti bahubhāṇinaṃ;

Mitabhāṇimpi nindanti,

natthi loke anindito.

228.

247 Na cāhu na ca bhavissati,

na cetarahi vijjati;

Ekantaṃ nindito poso,

ekantaṃ vā pasaṃsito.

229.

248 Yañce viññū pasaṃsanti,

anuvicca suve suve;

Acchiddavuttiṃ medhāviṃ,

paññāsīlasamāhitaṃ.

230.

249 Nikkhaṃ jambonadasseva,

ko taṃ ninditumarahati;

Devāpi naṃ pasaṃsanti,

brahmunāpi pasaṃsito.
