331 Get up and meditate!
What’s the point in your sleeping?
How can the afflicted slumber
when injured by an arrow strike?

332 Get up and meditate!
Train hard for peace!
The King of Death has caught you heedless—
don’t let him fool you under his sway.

333 Needy gods and humans
are held back by clinging:
get over it.
Don’t let the moment pass you by.
For if you miss your moment
you’ll grieve when sent to hell.

334 Negligence is always dust;
dust follows right behind negligence.
Through diligence and knowledge,
pluck out the dart from yourself.

331Uṭṭhahatha nisīdatha,
ko attho supitena vo;
Āturānañhi kā niddā,
sallaviddhāna ruppataṁ.

332 Uṭṭhahatha nisīdatha,
Daḷhaṁ sikkhatha santiyā;
Mā vo pamatte viññāya,
Maccurājā amohayittha vasānuge.

333 Yāya devā manussā ca,
sitā tiṭṭhanti atthikā;
Tarathetaṁ visattikaṁ,
khaṇo vo mā upaccagā;
Khaṇātītā hi socanti,
nirayamhi samappitā.

334 Pamādo rajo pamādo,
Pamādānupatito rajo;
Appamādena vijjāya,
Abbahe sallamattanoti.
