1“How should provisions be tied up?
What’s the lair of wealth?
What drags a person around?
What in the world is hard to give up?
What are many beings tied up with,
like birds in a snare?”

2“Provisions should be tied up with faith.
Glory is the lair of wealth.
Desire drags a person around.
Desire in the world is hard to give up.
Many beings are tied up with desire,
like birds in a snare.”

1"Kiṁsu bandhati pātheyyaṁ,
kiṁsu bhogānamāsayo;
Kiṁsu naraṁ parikassati,
kiṁsu lokasmi dujjahaṁ;
Kismiṁ baddhā puthū sattā,
pāsena sakuṇī yathā"ti.

2"Saddhā bandhati pātheyyaṁ,
sirī bhogānamāsayo;
Icchā naraṁ parikassati,
icchā lokasmi dujjahā;
Icchābaddhā puthū sattā,
pāsena sakuṇī yathā"ti.
