Appaṭividitasutta
Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Undeciphered
At Sāvatthī. Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“Yesaṁ dhammā appaṭividitā, Paravādesu nīyare; Suttā te nappabujjhanti, Kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun”ti.
“Those have not deciphered the teachings may be led astray by the doctrines of others. Asleep, they have not woken up: it is time for them to wake!”
“Yesaṁ dhammā suppaṭividitā, Paravādesu na nīyare; Te sambuddhā sammadaññā, Caranti visame saman”ti.
“Those who have well deciphered the teachings won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others. They have woken up, they rightly know, smoothly they walk in the rough.”
