Dīghā jāgarato ratti, dīghaṃ santassa yojanaṃ;

Dīgho bālānaṃ saṃsāro, saddhammaṃ avijānataṃ.

Puttā matthi dhanammatthi [puttamatthi dhanamatthi (ka.)], iti bālo vihaññati;

Attā hi [attāpi (?)] attano natthi, kuto puttā kuto dhanaṃ.

Yo bālo maññati bālyaṃ, paṇḍito vāpi tena so;

Bālo ca paṇḍitamānī, sa ve ‘‘bālo’’ti vuccati.

Muhuttamapi ce viññū, paṇḍitaṃ payirupāsati;

Na taṃ kammaṃ kataṃ sādhu, yaṃ katvā anutappati;

Yassa assumukho rodaṃ, vipākaṃ paṭisevati.

Tañca kammaṃ kataṃ sādhu, yaṃ katvā nānutappati;

Yassa patīto sumano, vipākaṃ paṭisevati.

Yadā ca paccati pāpaṃ, bālo [atha bālo (sī. syā.) atha (?)] dukkhaṃ nigacchati.

Māse māse kusaggena, bālo bhuñjeyya bhojanaṃ;

Āvāsesu ca issariyaṃ, pūjā parakulesu ca.

Mameva kata maññantu, gihīpabbajitā ubho;

Evametaṃ abhiññāya, bhikkhu buddhassa sāvako;

Sakkāraṃ nābhinandeyya, vivekamanubrūhaye.
