**[Verse 1: Introduction]**
Dwelling in the wrong path, with a mind attached to the objects of sense,
The minor and major sins, these are the things that bind us. ||1||
**[Verses 2-3: Non-Virtuous Sins]**
All killing of living beings, all violence, all taking of what is not given,
All lying, all stealing, all wrong conduct, all wrong thoughts. ||2||
In the case of wives, in the case of children, in the case of parents, in the case of relatives,
In all beings, attachment to self, this is the sin that binds me. ||3||
**[Verses 4-5: Wrong Conduct]**
In hell, those who are in hell, in the animal realm, those who are in the animal realm,
Bound by suffering, I am bound by wrong conduct, this is the sin for them. ||4||
In the realm of gods, those who are gods, in the human realm, those who are humans,
Bound by suffering, I am bound by wrong conduct, this is the sin for them. ||5||
**[Verses 6-13: Attachment to Self]**
In the realm of gods, many are the palaces, adorned with jewels,
With beautiful women, with fine clothes, with beautiful chariots, with beautiful horses. ||6||
With diamonds, sapphires, emeralds, and pearls, with beautiful gardens, with beautiful mansions,
With beautiful music, with beautiful scents, with beautiful food, with beautiful drinks. ||7||
With mountains of jewels, with beautiful ornaments, with beautiful bows and arrows,
With beautiful chariots, with beautiful horses, with beautiful elephants, with beautiful armies. ||8||
Those who are gods, those who are like gods, those who are like the gods,
Do not be attached to them, do not be attached to them, do not be attached to them. ||9||
With beautiful jewels, with beautiful clothes, with beautiful flowers, with beautiful scents,
Do not be attached to them, do not be attached to them, do not be attached to them. ||10||
