“What should one who desires the good
not give away? What should a mortal not reject? What should be let out when it’s good, but not when it’s bad?”
“अत्तानं न ददे पोसो, अत्तानं न परिच्चजे; वाचं मुञ्चेय्य कल्याणं, पापिकञ्च न मोचये”ति।
“Attānaṁ na dade poso, attānaṁ na pariccaje; Vācaṁ muñceyya kalyāṇaṁ, pāpikañca na mocaye”ti.
“A man shouldn’t give away himself. He shouldn’t reject himself. Speech should be let out when it’s good, but not when it’s bad.”
