Syair 338

 

Bagaikan sebatang pohon yang walaupun telah ditebang akan tumbuh bersemi lagi bila akar-akarnya masih kuat dan tidak dihancurkan. Selama akar nafsu keinginan tidak dihancurkan, maka penderitaan akan tumbuh berulang kali.

 

Kayadene sawijining wit, sanajan wis ditegor bakal thukul semi maneh manawa oyot-oyote isih rosa sarta ora kasirnakake. Sasuwene oyote napsu pepnginan ora kasirnakake, ing kono panandhang bakal mawola-wali tuwuh maneh.

 

 

As a tree, even though it has been cut down, is firm so long as its root is safe, and grows again, thus, unless the feeders of thirst are destroyed, this pain (of life) will return again and again.

 

yath pi mle anupaddave dalhe

chinno pi rukkho pnare va ruhati

evampi tanhnusaye anhate

nibbattat dukkhamida punappuna
