Syair 166

 

Janganlah karena demi keuntungan orang lain yang bagaimanapun besar lalu seseorang malalaikan tugas bagi dirinya sendiri. Setelah seseorang melihat tujuan akhir bagi dirinya sendiri, hendaklah ia teguh melaksanakan tugas kewajibannya.

 

Aja amarga kanggo kauntungan wong liya sing kepriye wae, manungsa banjur nglalekake kuwajiban kanggo awake dhewe. Kudune dheweke tanggon (tatag) nindakake tugas kuwajibane, sawise manungsa nyumurupi tujuan kang pungkasan (Nibbana) kanggo awake dhewe.

 

 

Let no one forget his own duty for the sak of another's, however great; let a man, after he has discerned his own duty, he always attentive to his duty.
