“Aṭṭhimāni, bhikkhave, malāni. Katamāni aṭṭha? Asajjhāyamalā, bhikkhave, mantā; anuṭṭhānamalā, bhikkhave, gharā; malaṁ, bhikkhave, vaṇṇassa kosajjaṁ; pamādo, bhikkhave, rakkhato malaṁ; malaṁ, bhikkhave, itthiyā duccaritaṁ; maccheraṁ, bhikkhave, dadato malaṁ; malā, bhikkhave, pāpakā akusalā dhammā asmiṁ loke paramhi ca; tato, bhikkhave, malā malataraṁ avijjā paramaṁ malaṁ. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, aṭṭha malānīti.
“Bhikkhus, there are these eight stains. What eight? Not reciting is the stain of hymns. Neglect is the stain of houses. Laziness is the stain of beauty. Negligence is a guard’s stain. Misconduct is a woman’s stain. Stinginess is a giver’s stain. Bad, unskillful qualities are a stain in this world and the next. Worse than any of these is ignorance, the worst stain of all. These are the eight stains.
असज्झायमला मन्ता, अनुट्ठानमला घरा; मलं वण्णस्स कोसज्जं, पमादो रक्खतो मलं।
Asajjhāyamalā mantā, anuṭṭhānamalā gharā; Malaṁ vaṇṇassa kosajjaṁ, pamādo rakkhato malaṁ.
Not reciting is the stain of hymns. The stain of houses is neglect. Laziness is the stain of beauty. A guard’s stain is negligence.
मलित्थिया दुच्चरितं, मच्छेरं ददतो मलं; मला वे पापका धम्मा, अस्मिं लोके परम्हि च; ततो मला मलतरं, अविज्जा परमं मलन्”ति।
Malitthiyā duccaritaṁ, maccheraṁ dadato malaṁ; Malā ve pāpakā dhammā, asmiṁ loke paramhi ca; Tato malā malataraṁ, avijjā paramaṁ malan”ti.
Misconduct is a woman’s stain. A giver’s stain is stinginess. Bad qualities are a stain in this world and the next. But a worse stain than these is ignorance, the worst stain of all.”
