The Chapter on the World

167.

One should not pursue an inferior state, one should not dwell with negligence;

One should not pursue wrong view, one should not be an augmenter of the world.

168.

One should not be negligent in what is to be undertaken, one should practise the Teaching as good conduct;

One who practises the Teaching sleeps happily, in this world and the next.

169.

One should practise the Teaching as good conduct, one should not practise it as misconduct;

One who practises the Teaching sleeps happily, in this world and the next.

170.

Just as one might see a bubble, just as one might see a mirage;

One who thus regards the world, the King of Death does not see.

171.

Come, see this world, adorned like a royal chariot;

Where fools sink down, there is no attachment for those who understand.

172.

Whoever having been negligent before, afterwards is not negligent;

He illuminates this world, like the moon released from a cloud.

173.

"Whoever's evil deed done is covered over by the wholesome;

He illuminates this world, like the moon released from a cloud.

174.

This world is mentally blind, few here see with insight;

Like a bird freed from a net, few go to heaven.

175.

Swans go along the sun's path, they go through space by supernormal power;

The wise are led forth from the world, having conquered Māra with his army.

176.

For a being who has transgressed one principle, who is a liar,

Who has discarded the world beyond, there is no evil that cannot be done.

177.

The miserly indeed do not go to the heavenly world, fools indeed do not praise giving;

But the wise one, rejoicing in giving, by that very deed he becomes happy in the hereafter.

178.

By sole sovereignty over the earth, or by going to heaven;

By universal power, the fruition of stream-entry is excellent.

The Chapter on the World is concluded as thirteenth.
