Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho khemo devaputto bhagavato santike imā gāthāyo abhāsi:

“Caranti bālā dummedhā,

amitteneva attanā;

Karontā pāpakaṁ kammaṁ,

yaṁ hoti kaṭukapphalaṁ.

Na taṁ kammaṁ kataṁ sādhu,

yaṁ katvā anutappati;

Yassa assumukho rodaṁ,

vipākaṁ paṭisevati.

Tañca kammaṁ kataṁ sādhu,

yaṁ katvā nānutappati;

Yassa patīto sumano,

vipākaṁ paṭisevati.

Paṭikacceva taṁ kayirā,

yaṁ jaññā hitamattano;

Na sākaṭikacintāya,

mantā dhīro parakkame.

Yathā sākaṭiko maṭṭhaṁ,

samaṁ hitvā mahāpathaṁ;

Visamaṁ maggamāruyha,

akkhacchinnova jhāyati.

Evaṁ dhammā apakkamma,

adhammamanuvattiya;

Mando maccumukhaṁ patto,

akkhacchinnova jhāyatī”ti.
