17.7 Atulaupāsakavatthu

Porāṇametaṃ atula,
netaṃ ajjatanāmiva;
Nindanti tuṇhimāsīnaṃ,
nindanti bahubhāṇinaṃ;
Mitabhāṇimpi nindanti,
natthi loke anindito.

Na cāhu na ca bhavissati,
na cetarahi vijjati;
Ekantaṃ nindito poso,
ekantaṃ vā pasaṃsito.

Yañce viññū pasaṃsanti,
anuvicca suve suve;
Acchiddavuttiṃ medhāviṃ,
paññāsīlasamāhitaṃ.

Nikkhaṃ jambonadasseva,
ko taṃ ninditumarahati;
Devāpi naṃ pasaṃsanti,
brahmunāpi pasaṃsito.
