Formerly this mind wandered about as it liked, where it wished, chasing pleasure.

The gift of Dhamma excels all gifts;
The taste of Dhamma excels all tastes;
The delight in Dhamma excels all delights. The Craving-Freed
vanquishes all suffering.
Riches ruin only the foolish, not those in quest of the Beyond. By craving for riches the witless man ruins himself as well as others.

As an elephant in the battlefield withstands arrows shot from bows all around, so shall I

Speak the truth; yield not to anger; when asked,
give, even if you only have a little. By these three
means can one reach the presence of the gods.
Those sages who are inoffensive and ever restrained in body, go to the Deathless State,
where, having gone, they grieve no more.

One should give up anger, renounce pride, and overcome all fetters.
Suffering never befalls him who clings not to mind and body and is detached.
He who checks rising anger as a charioteer
checks a rolling chariot, him I call a true charioteer. Others only hold the reins.

Giving himself to things to be shunned and not
exerting where exertion is needed, a seeker after

Not the sweet smell of flowers, not even the fra-

his virtue.
