1“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.”

2“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.”

1"Nāphusantaṁ phusati ca,
phusantañca tato phuse;
Tasmā phusantaṁ phusati,
appaduṭṭhapadosinan"ti.

2"Yo appaduṭṭhassa narassa dussati,
Suddhassa posassa anaṅgaṇassa;
Tameva bālaṁ pacceti pāpaṁ,
Sukhumo rajo paṭivātaṁva khitto"ti.
