Pātheyyasutta

“Kiṁsu bandhati pātheyyaṁ, kiṁsu bhogānamāsayo; Kiṁsu naraṁ parikassati, kiṁsu lokasmi dujjahaṁ; Kismiṁ baddhā puthū sattā, pāsena sakuṇī yathā”ti.

“What binds the provisions for a journey? What’s the vault of wealth? What drags a person around? What in the world is hard to give up? With what are ordinary beings bound, like birds in a snare?”

“Saddhā bandhati pātheyyaṁ, sirī bhogānamāsayo; Icchā naraṁ parikassati, icchā lokasmi dujjahā; Icchābaddhā puthū sattā, pāsena sakuṇī yathā”ti.

“Faith binds the provisions for a journey. Majesty is the vault of wealth. Desire drags a person around. Desire in the world is hard to give up. Ordinary beings are bound by desire, like birds in a snare.”
