Ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
Atha kho sambahulā satullapakāyikā devatāyo abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇā kevalakappaṃ jetavanaṃ obhāsetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu;
upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ aṭṭhaṃsu.
Ekamantaṃ ṭhitā kho ekā devatā bhagavato santike imaṃ gāthaṃ abhāsi -
‘‘Saddhā dutiyā purisassa hoti,
No ce assaddhiyaṃ avatiṭṭhati;
Yaso ca kittī ca tatvassa hoti,
Saggañca so gacchati sarīraṃ vihāyā’’ti.
Atha kho aparā devatā bhagavato santike imā gāthāyo abhāsi -
‘‘Kodhaṃ jahe vippajaheyya mānaṃ,
Saṃyojanaṃ sabbamatikkameyya;
Taṃ nāmarūpasmimasajjamānaṃ,
Akiñcanaṃ nānupatanti saṅgā’’ti.
‘‘Pamādamanuyuñjanti, bālā dummedhino janā;
Appamādañca medhāvī, dhanaṃ seṭṭhaṃva rakkhati.
‘‘Mā pamādamanuyuñjetha, mā kāmarati santhavaṃ;
Appamatto hi jhāyanto, pappoti paramaṃ sukha’’nti.
