1.58. Phi Ðạo

“Kiṁsu uppatho akkhāto,

kiṁsu rattindivakkhayo;

Kiṁ malaṁ brahmacariyassa,

kiṁ sinānamanodakan”ti.

“Rāgo uppatho akkhāto,

Vayo rattindivakkhayo;

Itthī malaṁ brahmacariyassa,

Etthāyaṁ sajjate pajā;

Tapo ca brahmacariyañca,

Taṁ sinānamanodakan”ti.

SC 1 “What is declared the deviant path?
What undergoes destruction night and day?
What is the stain of the holy life?
What is the bath without water?”

SC 2 “Lust is declared the deviant path;
Life undergoes destruction night and day;
Women are the stain of the holy life:
Here menfolk are enmeshed.
Austerity and the holy life—
That is the bath without water.”
