“නාඵුසන්තං ඵුසති ච, ඵුසන්තඤ්ච තතෝ ඵුසේ; තස්මා ඵුසන්තං ඵුසති, අප්පදුට්ඨපදෝසිනන්”ති.
“It doesn’t impact a person who doesn’t impact others. It impacts a person because they impact others. That’s why it impacts one who impacts, who wrongs one who’s done no wrong.”
“යෝ අප්පදුට්ඨස්ස නරස්ස දුස්සති, සුද්ධස්ස පෝසස්ස අනඞ්ගණස්ස; තමේව බාලං පච්චේති පාපං, සුඛුමෝ රජෝ පටිවාතංව ඛිත්තෝ”ති.
“Whoever wrongs a man who’s done no wrong, a pure man who has not a blemish, the evil backfires on the fool, like fine dust thrown upwind.”
