“කිංසු ඉස්සරියං ලෝකේ, කිංසු භණ්ඩානමුත්තමං; කිංසු සත්ථමලං ලෝකේ, කිංසු ලෝකස්මිමබ්බුදං.
“What is authority in the world? What’s the best of valuables? What in the world is a rusty sword? Who is a plague on the world?
කිංසු හරන්තං වාරේන්ති, හරන්තෝ පන කෝ පියෝ; කිංසු පුනප්පුනායන්තං, අභිනන්දන්ති පණ්ඩිතා”ති.
Who gets arrested when they take things away? And who is loved when they take things away? And who is approved by the astute when they come again and again?”
“වසෝ ඉස්සරියං ලෝකේ, ඉත්ථී භණ්ඩානමුත්තමං; කෝධෝ සත්ථමලං ලෝකේ, චෝරා ලෝකස්මිමබ්බුදා.
“Power is authority in the world. A woman is the best of valuables. Anger in the world is a rusty sword. A bandit is a plague on the world.
චෝරං හරන්තං වාරේන්ති, හරන්තෝ සමණෝ පියෝ; සමණං පුනප්පුනායන්තං, අභිනන්දන්ති පණ්ඩිතා”ති.
A bandit gets arrested when they take things away. And an ascetic is loved when they take things away. An ascetic is approved by the astute when they come again and again.”
