DHAMMAPADA XVIII, 17

Syair 251

Tiada api yang dapat menyamai nafsu, tiada jepitan yang dapat menyamai kebencian, tiada jaring yang dapat menyamai kebodohan dan tiada arus yang sederas ketamakan.

Ora ana geni kang madhani hawa napsu, ora ana jepitan kang madhani sesengitan, ora ana jaring kang madhani pepetenging batin, lan ora ana ilenilen kang bantere ngluwihi napsu pepinginan.

There is no fire like passion, there is no shark like hatred, there is no snare like folly, there is no torrent like greed.

natthi rgasamo aggi

natthi dosasamo gaho

natthi mohasama jla

natthi tanh sam nad
