1“Mendicants, there are these four poets. What four?

A poet who thoughtfully composes their own work, a poet who repeats the oral transmission, a poet who educates, and a poet who improvises.

These are the four poets.”

1"Cattārome, bhikkhave, kavī. Katame cattāro?

Cintākavi, sutakavi, atthakavi, paṭibhānakavi – 

ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro kavī"ti.

Ekādasamaṁ.

Duccaritavaggo tatiyo.

2Duccaritaṁ diṭṭhi akataññū ca,
Pāṇātipātāpi dve maggā;
Dve vohārapathā vuttā,
Ahirikaṁ duppaññakavinā cāti.
