TULSI-PRAJNA The fool (ignorant) who eats food just as much as touching the end of a grass-blade after each month's fast, does not get even onesixteenth part of merit got by the sage with right conduct. (७) अहे वयइ कोहेणं माणेणं अहमा गई।
माया गई पडिग्घाओ लोभाहो दुहओ भयं ।। (९।५४)
By anger man goes to lower birth, by pride he reaches wicked conditions, by deceit bis good conditions are destroyed; and by greed he will have fear in this as well as the other World. (८) धम्म पि हु सद्दहंतया दुल्लहया काएण फासया ।
इह कामगुणेहिं मुच्छिया समयं गोयम ! मा पमायए । (१०।२०)
Even when one will have faith in good religion, its followers are difficult to get. In this world most of the people are seized by passions. Therefore, OGautama, you should not be careless even for a moment. (९) अह पंचहिं ठाणेहिं जेहिं सिक्खा न लम्भई ।
थम्भा कोहा पमाएणं रोगेणाऽलस्सएण य ॥ (१११३)
Pride, arger, carelessness, disease and indolence-these five come in the way of one's education. (१०-११) अह अट्टहिं ठाणेहिं सिक्खासीले त्ति वुच्चई ।
अहस्सिरे सया दंते न य मम्ममुदाहरे ।। (१११४) नासीले न विसीले न सिया अइलोलुए।
अकोहणे सच्चरए सिक्खासीले त्ति वुच्चई ।। (१११५) One who possesses the following eight qualities is called (truly) educated : Not extending ugly laughter, controlling senses and mind, not disclosing others weal points, having spotless charactor, possessing good behaviour, not indulging in sumptuous food, not being enraged and being truthful. (१२) जा जा वच्चइ रयणी न सा पडिनियत्तई ।
धम्मं च कुणमाणस्स सफला जति राइओ ॥ (१४।२५)
The passing night does not return. The nights of the person living Righteous life are fruitful. (१३) विवादं च उदीरेइ अहम्मे अत्तपण्णहा ।
वुग्गहे कलहे रत्ते पावसमणि त्ति वुच्चइ ।। (१७/१२)
One who digs up the cooled contrarversies, is bereft of good character, spoils his knowledge by bad logic, is interested in quarrals, is a bad monk (Sramana), (१४) समया सव्वभूएसु सत्तुमित्तेसु वा जगे।
पाणाइवायविरई जावज्जीवाए दुक्करा ।। (१९।२५)
