කුසලධම්මසුත්ත
Skillful Quality
සාවත්ථියං විහරති.
At Sāvatthī.
“දාරුණෝ, භික්ඛවේ, ලාභසක්කාරසිලෝකෝ.
“Possessions, honor, and popularity are brutal …
ලාභසක්කාරසිලෝකේන අභිභූතස්ස පරියාදිණ්ණචිත්තස්ස, භික්ඛවේ, දේවදත්තස්ස කුසලෝ ධම්මෝ සමුච්ඡේදමගමා.
Devadatta cut off his skillful quality because his mind was overcome and overwhelmed by possessions, honor, and popularity.
ඒවං දාරුණෝ ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, ලාභසක්කාරසිලෝකෝ …පේ… සික්ඛිතබ්බන්”ති.
So brutal are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”
