“කිංසු උප්පථෝ අක්ඛාතෝ, කිංසු රත්තින්දිවක්ඛයෝ; කිං මලං බ්රහ්මචරියස්ස, කිං සිනානමනෝදකන්”ති.
“What’s declared to be a deviation? What is ending day and night? What’s the stain of celibacy? What’s the waterless bath?”
“රාගෝ උප්පථෝ අක්ඛාතෝ, වයෝ රත්තින්දිවක්ඛයෝ; ඉත්ථී මලං බ්රහ්මචරියස්ස, ඒත්ථායං සජ්ජතේ පජා; තපෝ ච බ්රහ්මචරියඤ්ච, තං සිනානමනෝදකන්”ති.
“Lust is declared to be a deviation. Youth is ending day and night. Women are the stain of celibacy, to which this generation clings. Fervor and celibacy are the waterless bath.”
