333. “Rise up! Sit up! What benefit is there in sleeping for you?
What sleep is there for the afflicted, oppressed by the pierce of a dart?334. Rise up! Sit up! Firmly train yourselves for peace;
Do not be among the negligent ones,
the king of death having known, [can] not subject you to delusion here.335. Indeed cross this adhesion, let not this opportunity escape you;
For devas and humans desirous of attachments stand still.
Having missed the opportunity, they indeed grieve when consigned to hell.336. Soiled by negligence, the heedless one is oppressed by the stain of inaction;
by vigilance for the noble knowledge, [the vigilant one] pulls out the dart by himself.”
