Animittamanaññātaṃ, maccānaṃ idha jīvitaṃ;
Kasirañca parittañca, tañca dukkhena saṃyutaṃ.
580.
Na hi so upakkamo atthi, yena jātā na miyyare;
Jarampi patvā maraṇaṃ, evaṃdhammā hi pāṇino.
581.
Phalānamiva pakkānaṃ, pāto patanato [papatato (sī. pī. aṭṭha.)] bhayaṃ;
Evaṃ jātāna maccānaṃ, niccaṃ maraṇato bhayaṃ.
582.
Yathāpi kumbhakārassa, katā mattikabhājanā;
Sabbe bhedanapariyantā [bhedapariyantā (syā.)], evaṃ maccāna jīvitaṃ.
583.
Daharā ca mahantā ca, ye bālā ye ca paṇḍitā;
Sabbe maccuvasaṃ yanti, sabbe maccuparāyaṇā.
584.
Tesaṃ maccuparetānaṃ, gacchataṃ paralokato;
Na pitā tāyate puttaṃ, ñātī vā pana ñātake.
585.
Pekkhataṃ yeva ñātīnaṃ, passa lālapataṃ puthu;
Ekamekova maccānaṃ, govajjho viya nīyati [niyyati (bahūsu)].
586.
Evamabbhāhato loko, maccunā ca jarāya ca;
Tasmā dhīrā na socanti, viditvā lokapariyāyaṃ.
587.
Yassa maggaṃ na jānāsi, āgatassa gatassa vā;
Ubho ante asampassaṃ, niratthaṃ paridevasi.
588.
Paridevayamāno ce, kiñcidatthaṃ udabbahe;
Sammūḷho hiṃsamattānaṃ, kayirā ce naṃ vicakkhaṇo.
589.
Na hi ruṇṇena sokena, santiṃ pappoti cetaso;
Bhiyyassuppajjate dukkhaṃ, sarīraṃ cupahaññati.
590.
Kiso vivaṇṇo bhavati, hiṃsamattānamattanā;
Na tena petā pālenti, niratthā paridevanā.
591.
Sokamappajahaṃ jantu, bhiyyo dukkhaṃ nigacchati;
Anutthunanto kālaṅkataṃ [kālakataṃ (sī. syā.)], sokassa vasamanvagū.
592.
Aññepi passa gamine, yathākammūpage nare;
Maccuno vasamāgamma, phandantevidha pāṇino.
593.
Yena yena hi maññanti, tato taṃ hoti aññathā;
Etādiso vinābhāvo, passa lokassa pariyāyaṃ.
594.
Api vassasataṃ jīve, bhiyyo vā pana māṇavo;
Ñātisaṅghā vinā hoti, jahāti idha jīvitaṃ.
595.
Tasmā arahato sutvā, vineyya paridevitaṃ;
Petaṃ kālaṅkataṃ disvā, neso labbhā mayā iti.
596.
Yathā saraṇamādittaṃ, vārinā parinibbaye [parinibbuto (sī. ka.)];
Evampi dhīro sapañño, paṇḍito kusalo naro;
Khippamuppatitaṃ sokaṃ, vāto tūlaṃva dhaṃsaye.
597.
Paridevaṃ pajappañca, domanassañca attano;
Attano sukhamesāno, abbahe sallamattano.
598.
Abbuḷhasallo asito, santiṃ pappuyya cetaso;
Sabbasokaṃ atikkanto, asoko hoti nibbutoti.
Sallasuttaṃ aṭṭhamaṃ niṭṭhitaṃ.
