- © Translated from the Pali by Bhante Sujato. (More copyright information)
1“What’s the mark of a chariot?
What’s the mark of fire?
What’s the mark of a nation?
What’s the mark of a woman?”
2“A banner is the mark of a chariot.
Smoke is the mark of fire.
A ruler is a nation’s mark.
And a husband is the mark of a woman.”
1v.226 "Kiṁsu rathassa paññāṇaṁ,
kiṁsu paññāṇamaggino;
Kiṁsu raṭṭhassa paññāṇaṁ,
kiṁsu paññāṇamitthiyā"ti.
2"Dhajo rathassa paññāṇaṁ,
dhūmo paññāṇamaggino;
Rājā raṭṭhassa paññāṇaṁ,
bhattā paññāṇamitthiyā"ti.
