The Discourse on Jantu
106.
Thus have I heard -
On one occasion many monks were dwelling among the Kosalans on the slopes of the Himalayas in a forest hut, agitated, arrogant, fickle, garrulous, of loose speech, unmindful, not fully aware, unconcentrated, with wandering minds, with uncontrolled faculties.
Then Jantu the young god, on the uposatha day, the fifteenth, approached those monks; having approached, he addressed those monks in verses -
"In the past, monks, disciples of Gotama, lived happily;
Without desire they sought almsfood, without desire their lodgings;
Having known impermanence in the world, they made an end of suffering.
"Having made themselves hard to support, like village headmen in a village;
Having eaten and eaten, they lie down, infatuated in others' houses.
"Having made salutation with joined palms to the Community, I speak here to some;
They are cast away, without protector, just like ghosts, so are they.
"Those who dwell heedlessly, with reference to them this is spoken;
Those who dwell heedfully, to them we pay homage."
