Translator: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500

Sāvatthiyaṁ jetavane.

Atha kho sakko devānamindo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi.

Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho sakko devānamindo bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“Kiṁsu chetvā sukhaṁ seti,

kiṁsu chetvā na socati;

Kissassu ekadhammassa,

vadhaṁ rocesi gotamā”ti.

“Kodhaṁ chetvā sukhaṁ seti,

kodhaṁ chetvā na socati;

Kodhassa visamūlassa,

madhuraggassa vāsava;

Vadhaṁ ariyā pasaṁsanti,

tañhi chetvā na socatī”ti.
