DHAMMAPADA XXV, 12

Syair 371

Bersamadhilah O bhikkhu! Jangan lengah! Jangan biarkan pikiranmu terseret oleh kesenangan-kesenangan indria! Jangan karena kelengahanmu maka engkau harus menelan bola besi membara (di neraka)! Dan jangan karena terbakar kemudian engkau meratap: "O ini sungguh penderitaan!"

Ulaha semadi O wiku, sarta aja kalepyan. Aja ngumbar pikiranmu katrem marang kasenengan-kasenenganing indriya, supaya sira ora usah ngulu balwesi mengangah karana kalepyan-ira, supaya sira ora usah sambat kelaran karana kobong: "Yaiki panandhang".

Meditate, O Bhikshu, and be not heedless! Do not direct thy thought to what gives pleasure, that thou mayest not for thy heedlessness have to swallow the iron ball (in hell), and that thou mayest not cry out when burning, "This is suffering".
