1At Sāvatthī.

Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

2“Those who don’t comprehend the teachings,
who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;
asleep, they have not woken up:
it is time for them to wake!”

3“Those who clearly comprehend the teachings,
who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;
they’ve woken up, they rightly know,
they live smoothly in the rough.”

1Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi: 

2"Yesaṁ dhammā appaṭividitā,
Paravādesu nīyare;
Suttā te nappabujjhanti,
Kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun"ti.

3"Yesaṁ dhammā suppaṭividitā,
Paravādesu na nīyare;
Te sambuddhā sammadaññā,
Caranti visame saman"ti.
