Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṃ tissaṃ etadavoca:  "kiṃ nu kho tvaṃ, tissa, ekamantaṃ nisinno dukkhī dummano assūni pavattayamāno"ti? "Tathā hi pana maṃ, bhante, bhikkhū samantā vācāyasannitodakena sañjambharimakaṃsū"ti. "Tathāhi pana tvaṃ, tissa, vattā no ca vacanakkhamo; na kho te taṃ, tissa, patirūpaṃ kulaputtassa saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitassa, yaṃ tvaṃ vattā no ca vacanakkhamo. Etaṃ kho te, tissa, patirūpaṃ kulaputtassa saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṃ pabbajitassa:  ‘yaṃ tvaṃ vattā ca assa vacanakkhamo cā’"ti.

Akkodho tissa te varaṃ;
Kodhamānamakkhavinayatthañhi,
Tissa brahmacariyaṃ vussatī"ti.

Navamaṃ.
