“කිමත්ථකාමෝ න දදේ, කිං මච්චෝ න පරිච්චජේ; කිංසු මුඤ්චේය්ය කල්යාණං, පාපිකං න ච මෝචයේ”ති.
“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?”
“අත්තානං න දදේ පෝසෝ, අත්තානං න පරිච්චජේ; වාචං මුඤ්චේය්ය කල්යාණං, පාපිකඤ්ච න මෝචයේ”ති.
“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.”
