“Kiṁsu issariyaṁ loke, kiṁsu bhaṇḍānamuttamaṁ; Kiṁsu satthamalaṁ loke, kiṁsu lokasmimabbudaṁ.
“What is authority in the world? What’s the best of valuables? What in the world is a rusty sword? Who is a pest in the world?
Kiṁsu harantaṁ vārenti, haranto pana ko piyo; Kiṁsu punappunāyantaṁ, abhinandanti paṇḍitā”ti.
Who gets arrested when they take things away? And who is loved when they take things away? And who is approved by the astute when they come again and again?”
“Vaso issariyaṁ loke, itthī bhaṇḍānamuttamaṁ; Kodho satthamalaṁ loke, corā lokasmimabbudā.
“Sway is authority in the world. A woman is the best of valuables. Anger in the world is a rusty sword. A bandit is a pest in the world.
Coraṁ harantaṁ vārenti, haranto samaṇo piyo; Samaṇaṁ punappunāyantaṁ, abhinandanti paṇḍitā”ti.
A bandit gets arrested when they take things away. And an ascetic is loved when they take things away. An ascetic is approved by the astute when they come again and again.”
