DHAMMAPADA XVIII, 15

Syair 249

Orang-orang akan memberi sesuai dengan keyakinan mereka dan menurut kesenangan hati mereka. Karena itu barang siapa merasa iri atas makanan dan minuman orang lain, maka ia tidak akan memperoleh kedamaian batin, baik siang atau pun malam.

Wong bakal padha dedana laras karo antebing atine dhewe-dhewe. Jalaran saka iku sing sapa rumangsa meri marang rejekine liyan, ing kono dheweke ora bakal intuk katentremaning batin ing rina sawengine.

The world gives according to their faith or according to their pleasure: if a man frets about the food and the drink given to others, he will find no rest either day or by night.

dadti ve yathsaddha

yathpasdana jano

tattha ce maku yo hoti

paresa pnabhojane

na so div v ratti v

samdhi adhigacchati
