Dhammapada - Chapter 3: Cittavagga - The Mind

33 Phandanaṃ capalaṃ cittaṃ,
dūrakkhaṃ dunnivārayaṃ;
Ujuṃ karoti medhāvī,
usukārova tejanaṃ.

34 Vārijova thale khitto,
okamokataubbhato;
Pariphandatidaṃ cittaṃ,
māradheyyaṃ pahātave.

35 Dunniggahassa lahuno,
yatthakāmanipātino;
Cittassa damatho sādhu,
cittaṃ dantaṃ sukhāvahaṃ.

36 Sududdasaṃ sunipuṇaṃ,
yatthakāmanipātinaṃ;
Cittaṃ rakkhetha medhāvī,
cittaṃ guttaṃ sukhāvahaṃ.

37 Dūrangamaṃ ekacaraṃ,
asarīraṃ guhāsayaṃ;
Ye cittaṃ saṃyamissanti,
mokkhanti mārabandhanā.

38 Anavaṭṭhitacittassa,
saddhammaṃ avijānato;
Pariplavapasādassa,
paññā na paripūrati.

39 Anavassutacittassa,
ananvāhatacetaso;
Puññapāpapahīnassa,
natthi jāgarato bhayaṃ.

40 Kumbhūpamaṃ kāyamimaṃ viditvā,
Nagarūpamaṃ cittamidaṃ ṭhapetvā;
Yodhetha māraṃ paññāvudhena,
Jitañca rakkhe anivesano siyā.

41 Aciraṃ vatayaṃ kāyo,
pathaviṃ adhisessati;
Chuddho apetaviññāṇo,
niratthaṃva kalingaraṃ.

42 Diso disaṃ yaṃ taṃ kayirā,
verī vā pana verinaṃ;
Micchāpaṇihitaṃ cittaṃ,
pāpiyo naṃ tato kare.

43 Na taṃ mātā pitā kayirā,
aññe vāpi ca ñātakā;
Sammāpaṇihitaṃ cittaṃ,
seyyaso naṃ tato kare.

Cittavaggo tatiyo.
