1. To listen attentively, to live righteously, to give up a home for a state of happiness: to consent to give up all, these are alike praiseworthy in a Çramana.

bālā ihāvijānantaś caranti hy amarā iva |
vijānatāṃ tu sad dharmaṃ āturasyaiva śarvarī |22,2|

愚迷不覺知好行不死法
善解知法者病如芭焦樹 2²

2. =22,2

2. The fool, who knows not, behaves as if he was immortal ; the wise man applies himself day and night to the holy law.

3. =22,3

3-4 If a person:enters into a house wrapped in darkness, though he has eyes he cannot see objects that are (in it);

tathaiveha naro nityaṃ jñānavān api yo bhavet |
aśrutvā na vijānāti dharmān kalyāṇapāpakān |22,4|

猶如有一人智達廣博學
不聞則不知善法及惡法 4⁴

sdig pa daṅ ni dge ba’i chos || ma thos par du śes mi ’gyur ||⁴

4. =22,4

so likewise though a man is well born and has intelligence, if he hears not the law of vice and of virtue he cannot have wisdom.

pradīpena tu rūpāṇi cakṣuṣmān paśyate yathā |
evaṃ śrutvā vijānāti dharmān kalyāṇapāpakān |22,5|

5. =22,5

5. Like a man who, having eyes and who bearing also a lamp, sees all objects, is he who has heard the law of vice and of virtue; he will become perfectly wise.

śrutvā hy anarthaṃ varjayate śrutvā prāpnoti nirvṛtim |22,6|

如彼閻浮金孰能説有瑕 10⁹
