एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो राजा पसेनदि कोसलो भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “इधाहं, भन्ते, अड्डकरणे निसिन्नो पस्सामि खत्तियमहासालेपि ब्राह्मणमहासालेपि गहपतिमहासालेपि अड्ढे महद्धने महाभोगे पहूतजातरूपरजते पहूतवित्तूपकरणे पहूतधनधञ्ञे कामहेतु कामनिदानं कामाधिकरणं सम्पजानमुसा भासन्ते। तस्स मय्हं, भन्ते, एतदहोसि: ‘अलं दानि मे अड्डकरणेन, भद्रमुखो दानि अड्डकरणेन पञ्ञायिस्सतीऽ”ति।
Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho rājā pasenadi kosalo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “idhāhaṁ, bhante, aḍḍakaraṇe1 nisinno passāmi khattiyamahāsālepi brāhmaṇamahāsālepi gahapatimahāsālepi aḍḍhe mahaddhane mahābhoge pahūtajātarūparajate pahūtavittūpakaraṇe pahūtadhanadhaññe kāmahetu kāmanidānaṁ kāmādhikaraṇaṁ sampajānamusā bhāsante. Tassa mayhaṁ, bhante, etadahosi: ‘alaṁ dāni me aḍḍakaraṇena, bhadramukho dāni aḍḍakaraṇena paññāyissatī’”ti.
Seated to one side, King Pasenadi said to the Buddha, “Sir, when I’m sitting in judgment I see well-to-do aristocrats, brahmins, and householders—rich, affluent, and wealthy, with lots of gold and silver, lots of property and assets, and lots of money and grain. But they tell deliberate lies for the sake of sensual pleasures. Then it occurred to me: ‘Enough with passing judgment today. Now my dear son will be known by the judgments he makes.’”
“एवमेतं, महाराज, एवमेतं, महाराज। येपि ते, महाराज, खत्तियमहासाला ब्राह्मणमहासाला गहपतिमहासाला अड्ढा महद्धना महाभोगा पहूतजातरूपरजता पहूतवित्तूपकरणा पहूतधनधञ्ञा कामहेतु कामनिदानं कामाधिकरणं सम्पजानमुसा भासन्ति; तेसं तं भविस्सति दीघरत्तं अहिताय दुक्खाया”ति।
“Evametaṁ, mahārāja, evametaṁ, mahārāja. Yepi te, mahārāja, khattiyamahāsālā brāhmaṇamahāsālā gahapatimahāsālā aḍḍhā mahaddhanā mahābhogā pahūtajātarūparajatā pahūtavittūpakaraṇā pahūtadhanadhaññā kāmahetu kāmanidānaṁ kāmādhikaraṇaṁ sampajānamusā bhāsanti; tesaṁ taṁ bhavissati dīgharattaṁ ahitāya dukkhāyā”ti.
“That’s so true, great king! That’s so true! Those who are well-to-do aristocrats, brahmins, and householders tell deliberate lies for the sake of sensual pleasures. That is for their lasting harm and suffering.”

That is what the Buddha said. …
“सारत्ता कामभोगेसु, गिद्धा कामेसु मुच्छिता; अतिसारं न बुज्झन्ति, मच्छा खिप्पंव ओड्डितं; पच्छासं कटुकं होति, विपाको हिस्स पापको”ति।
“Sārattā kāmabhogesu, giddhā kāmesu mucchitā; Atisāraṁ na bujjhanti, macchā khippaṁva oḍḍitaṁ; Pacchāsaṁ kaṭukaṁ hoti, vipāko hissa pāpako”ti.
“Full of desire for possessions and pleasures, greedy, infatuated by sensual pleasures; they don’t notice that they’ve gone too far, like fish entering a net set out. It’ll be bitter later on; for the result will be bad for them.”
