“Kiṃ jīrati kiṃ na jīrati,
kiṃsu uppathoti vuccati;
Kiṃsu dhammānaṃ paripantho,
kiṃsu rattin­di­vak­khayo;
Kiṃ malaṃ brahma­cari­yassa,
kiṃ sināna­ma­no­dakaṃ.

Kati lokasmiṃ chiddāni,
yattha vittaṃ na tiṭṭhati;
Bhagavantaṃ puṭṭhumāgamma,
kathaṃ jānemu taṃ mayan”ti.

“Rūpaṃ jīrati maccānaṃ,
nāmagottaṃ na jīrati;
Rāgo uppathoti vuccati.

Lobho dhammānaṃ paripantho,
Vayo rattin­di­vak­khayo;
Itthī malaṃ brahma­cari­yassa,
Etthāyaṃ sajjate pajā;
Tapo ca brahma­cari­yañca,
Taṃ sināna­ma­no­dakaṃ.

Cha lokasmiṃ chiddāni,
yattha vittaṃ na tiṭṭhati;
Ālasyañca pamādo ca,
anuṭṭhānaṃ asaṃyamo;
Niddā tandī ca te chidde,
sabbaso taṃ vivajjaye”ti.
