He who always lies goes to hell
And he who denies what he has done.
These tow, the men of base actions,
Share the same destiny in the world to come.

Clad in the yellow robes,
Ill-behaved and uncontrlooed,
By evil deeds, those evil ones,
Shall go to the realm of woe.

Better for an immoral
And uncontrlled person
To eat a red-hot and flaming ball
Than to eat the alms of people.

Four misfortunes befll that man
Who, heedless, courts the neighbour's wife:
Aczuisition of demerit is acquired by him,
He has a bad sleep at night,
Ill-repute he, thirdly, gains,
And hell, fourthly, he attains.

There is a gain of demerit and evil destiny,
Brief is the joy of frightened couple,
And the king imposes heavy punishment.
Therefore let no man commit adultery.

As Kusa grass when wrongly grasped
Cuts the seizing hand,
So a recluse's life when wrongly handled
Drags one to hell.

An act loosely performed,
A vow corruptly observed,
A Holy Life unwillingly lived-
This yields not much fruit.

Let one do with all one's might
What ought to be performed.
A loose monastic life stirs up
The dust of passions all the more.

Better left undone is an evil deed,
For it torments one afterwards.
Better done is a wholesome deed,
After doing which one feels no remorse.

Just as a border city
Is well-guarded within and withourt,
Even so do you guard yourselves.
Do not let slip this opportunity.
For those missing the opportunity grieve,
Having been consigned to hell.

Of what is not shameful they are ashamed,
But of the shameful they are not ashamed.
Embracing false views as such,
Those beings go to a woeful realm.

What is not to be feared they fear,
What is fearsome they fear not.
Embracing false views as such.
Those beings go to a woeful fealm.

They think there is harm where there is none,
And they do not see where harm exists.
Embracing false views as such,
Those beings go to a woeful realm.

Perceiving wrong as wrong.
Perceiving right as right,
Beings of such right views
In a blissful realm arise.
