DHAMMAPADA IV, 6

Syair 49

 

Bagaikan seekor kumbang mengumpulkan madu dari bunga-bunga tanpa merusak warna maupun baunya;

demikian pula hendaknya orang bijaksana mengembara di desa-desa.

 

Kayadene kombang nesep madune kembang, tanpa ngrusak warna lan gandane;

mangkono sayogyane wong wicaksana ngumbara ana ing padesan.

 

 

As the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower, or its colour or scent, so let a sage dwell in his village.

 

yatha panjang pi bhamaro pupphang

vannagandhang ahethayang

phaleti rasama panjangda panjangya

evang ga panjangme muni panjang care
