Dhammapada - Chapter 19: Dhammatthavagga - The Just

256 Na tena hoti dhammaṭṭho,
yenatthaṃ sāhasā naye;
Yo ca atthaṃ anatthañca,
ubho niccheyya paṇḍito.

257 Asāhasena dhammena,
samena nayatī pare;
Dhammassa gutto medhāvī,
"dhammaṭṭho"ti pavuccati.

258 Na tena paṇḍito hoti,
yāvatā bahu bhāsati;
Khemī averī abhayo,
"paṇḍito"ti pavuccati.

259 Na tāvatā dhammadharo,
yāvatā bahu bhāsati;
Yo ca appampi sutvāna,
dhammaṃ kāyena passati;
Sa ve dhammadharo hoti,
yo dhammaṃ nappamajjati.

260 Na tena thero so hoti,
yenassa palitaṃ siro;
Paripakko vayo tassa,
"moghajiṇṇo"ti vuccati.

261 Yamhi saccañca dhammo ca,
ahiṃsā saṃyamo damo;
Sa ve vantamalo dhīro,
"thero" iti pavuccati.

262 Na vākkaraṇamattena,
vaṇṇapokkharatāya vā;
Sādhurūpo naro hoti,
issukī maccharī saṭho.

263 Yassa cetaṃ samucchinnaṃ,
mūlaghaccaṃ samūhataṃ;
Sa vantadoso medhāvī,
"sādhurūpo"ti vuccati.

264 Na muṇḍakena samaṇo,
abbato alikaṃ bhaṇaṃ;
Icchālobhasamāpanno,
samaṇo kiṃ bhavissati.

265 Yo ca sameti pāpāni,
aṇuṃthūlāni sabbaso;
Samitattā hi pāpānaṃ,
"samaṇo"ti pavuccati.

266 Na tena bhikkhu so hoti,
yāvatā bhikkhate pare;
Vissaṃ dhammaṃ samādāya,
bhikkhu hoti na tāvatā.

267 Yodha puññañca pāpañca,
bāhetvā brahmacariyavā;
Sankhāya loke carati,
sa ve "bhikkhū"ti vuccati.

268 Na monena munī hoti,
mūḷharūpo aviddasu;
Yo ca tulaṃva paggayha,
varamādāya paṇḍito.

269 Pāpāni parivajjeti,
sa munī tena so muni;
Yo munāti ubho loke,
"muni" tena pavuccati.

270 Na tena ariyo hoti,
yena pāṇāni hiṃsati;
Ahiṃsā sabbapāṇānaṃ,
"ariyo"ti pavuccati.

271 Na sīlabbatamattena,
bāhusaccena vā pana;
Atha vā samādhilābhena,
vivittasayanena vā.

272 Phusāmi nekkhammasukhaṃ,
aputhujjanasevitaṃ;
Bhikkhu vissāsamāpādi,
appatto āsavakkhayaṃ.
