Susammuṭṭhasutta

Sāvatthinidānaṁ. Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:

Very Confused

At Sāvatthī. Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Yesaṁ dhammā susammuṭṭhā, paravādesu nīyare; Suttā te nappabujjhanti, kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun”ti.

“Those who are very confused about 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 asammuṭṭhā, paravādesu na nīyare; Te sambuddhā sammadaññā, caranti visame saman”ti.

“Those who are unconfused about 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.”
