DHAMMAPADA XX, 9

Syair 281

Hendaklah ia menjaga ucapan, mengendalikan pikiran dengan baik, serta tidak melakukan perbuatan jahat melalui jasmani. Hendaklah ia memurnikan tiga saluran perbuatan ini, sehingga dapat memenangkan jalan yang telah dibabarkan oleh Para Suci (Isi).

Sayogyane dheweke prayitna ing pangucap, ngendhaleni pikirane kanthi becik sarta ora tumindhakala lumantar jasmanine. Sayogyane dheweke nyucekake batin sarana rumeksa marang kamurnening tindak telung prakara iku. Mangkono ategas bisa nindaki dalan kang wis kabarake dening Para Suci.

Watching his speech, well restrained in mind, let a man never commit any wrong with his body! Let a man but keep these three roads of action clear, and he will achieve the way which is taught by the wise.

vcnurakkh manas susavuto
