from the bonds of Mara ��the tempter��。
38。 If a man's thoughts are unsteady�察�if he does not know the true law�察�
if his peace of mind is troubled�察�his knowledge will never be perfect。
39。 If a man's thoughts are not dissipated�察�if his mind is not perplexed�察�
if he has ceased to think of good or evil�察�then there is no fear for him while
he is watchful。
40。 Knowing that this body is ��fragile�� like a jar�察 �and making this
thought firm like a fortress�察�one should attack Mara ��the tempter�� with the
weapon of knowledge�察�one should watch him when conquered�察�and should
never rest。
41。 Before long�察�alas� �this body will lie on the earth�察�despised�察�without
understanding�察�like a useless log。
42。 Whatever a hater may do to a hater�察�or an enemy to an enemy�察�a
wrongly´directed mind will do us greater mischief。
43。 Not a mother�察�not a father will do so much�察�nor any other relative�察�
a well´directed mind will do us greater service。

Chapter IV Flowers
44。 Who shall overcome this earth�察�and the world of Yama ��the lord of
the departed���察�and the world of the gods�拭 �Who shall find out the plainly
shown path of virtue�察�as a clever man finds out the ��right�� flower�拭�
45。 The disciple will overcome the earth�察�and the world of Yama�察�and
the world of the gods。 The disciple will find out the plainly shown path
of virtue�察�as a clever man finds out the ��right�� flower。
46。 He who knows that this body is like froth�察�and has learnt that it is
as unsubstantial as a mirage�察�will break the flower´pointed arrow of Mara�察�
and never see the king of death。
47。 Death carries off a man who is gathering flowers and whose mind
is distracted�察�as a flood carries off a sleeping village。
48。 Death subdues a man who is gathering flowers�察�and whose mind is
distracted�察�before he is satiated in his pleasures。
49。 As the bee collects nectar and departs without injuring the flower�察�
or its colour or scent�察�so let a sage dwell in his village。
50。 Not the perversities of others�察 �not their sins of commission or
omission�察�but his own misdeeds and negligences should a sage take notice
of。
51。 Like a beautiful flower�察 �full of colour�察 �but without scent�察 �are the
fine but fruitless words of him who does not act accordingly。
52。 But�察�like a beautiful flower�察�full of colour and full of scent�察�are the
fine and fruitful words of him who acts accordingly。
53。 As many kinds of wreaths can be made from a heap of flowers�察�so
many good things may be achieved by a mortal when once he is born。
54。 The scent of flowers does not travel against the wind�察�nor ��that of��
sandal´wood�察 �or of Tagara and Mallika flowers�察 �but the odour of good
people travels even against the wind�察�a good man pervades every place。
55。 Sandal´wood or Tagara�察�a lotus´flower�察�or a Vassiki�察�among these
sorts of perfumes�察�the perfume of virtue is unsurpassed。
56。 Mean is the scent that comes from Tagara and sandal´wood��the
perfume of those who possess virtue rises up to the gods as the highest。

57。 Of the people who possess these virtues�察 �who live without
thoughtlessness�察�and who are emancipated through true knowledge�察�Mara�察�
the tempter�察�never finds the way。
58�察 �59。 As on a heap of rubbish cast upon the highway the lily will
grow full of sweet perfume and delight�察 �thus the disciple of the truly
enlightened Buddha shines forth by his knowledge among those who are
like rubbish�察�among the people that walk in darkness。

Chapter V The Fool
60。 Long is the night to him who is awake�察�long is a mile to him who
is tired�察�long is life to the foolish who do not know the true law。
61。 If a traveller does not meet with one who is his better�察�or his equal�察�
let him firmly keep to his solitary journey�察�there is no companionship with
a fool。
62。 ;These sons belong to me�察 �and this wealth belongs to me�察─ �with
such thoughts a fool is tormented。 He himself does not belong to himself�察�
how much less sons and wealth�拭�
63。 The fool who knows his foolishness�察�is wise at least so far。 But a
fool who thinks himself wise�察�he is called a fool indeed。
64。 If a fool be associated with a wise man even all his life�察�he will
perceive the truth as little as a spoon perceives the taste of soup。
65。 If an intelligent man be associated for one minute only with a wise
man�察�he will soon perceive the truth�察�as the tongue perceives the taste of
soup。
66。 Fools of little understanding have themselves for their greatest
enemies�察�for they do evil deeds which must bear bitter fruits。
67。 That deed is not well done of which a man must repent�察�and the
reward of which he receives crying and with a tearful face。
68。 No�察�that deed is well done of which a man does not repent�察�and the
reward of which he receives gladly and cheerfully。
69。 As long as the evil deed done does not bear fruit�察�the fool thinks it
is like honey�察�but when it ripens�察�then the fool suffers grief。
70。 Let a fool month after month eat his food ��like an ascetic�� with the
tip of a blade of Kusa grass�察�yet he is not worth the sixteenth particle of
those who have well weighed the law。
71。 An evil deed�察 �like newly´drawn milk�察 �does not turn ��suddenly���察�
smouldering�察�like fire covered by ashes�察�it follows the fool。
72。 And when the evil deed�察�after it has become known�察�brings sorrow
to the fool�察�then it destroys his bright lot�察�nay�察�it cleaves his head。
73。 Let the fool wish for a false reputation�察�for precedence among the
8

Bhikshus�察�for lordship in the convents�察�for worship among other people� �
74。 ;May both the layman and he who has left the world think that this
is done by me�察 �may they be subject to me in everything which is to be
done or is not to be done�察─�thus is the mind of the fool�察�and his desire and
pride increase。
75。 ;One is the road that leads to wealth�察�another the road that leads to
Nirvana�察─�if the Bhikshu�察�the disciple of Buddha�察�has learnt this�察�he will
not yearn for honour�察�he will strive after separation from the world。

Chapter VI The Wise Man
��Pandita��
76。 If you see an intelligent man who tells you where true treasures are
to be found�察�who shows what is to be avoided�察�and administers reproofs�察�
follow that wise man�察 �it will be better�察 �not worse�察 �for those who follow
him。
77。 Let him admonish�察�let him teach�察�let him forbid what is improper� �
´he will be beloved of the good�察�by the bad he will be hated。
78。 Do not have evil´doers for friends�察 �do not have low people for
friends�此�have virtuous people for friends�察�have for friends the best of men。
