DHAMMAPADA XXIV, 2

Syair 335

Dalam dunia ini, barangsiapa dikuasai oleh nafsu keinginan yang beracun dan reandah, kesedihan dalam dirinya bertambah, seperti rumput Virana sesudah kena hujan.

Ing ndonya iki, sing sapa kawasesa dening napsu pepenginan kang mawa racun sarta nistha iku, ing kono kasedihan bakal terus ngembara, kayadene suket "virana" kang kasiraman banyu kanthi becik.

Whomsoever this fierce poisonous thirst overcomes, in this world, his sufferings increase like the abounding Birana grass.

ya es sahat jamm

tanh loke visattik

sok tassa pavaddhanti

abhivuttha va vrana
