“Atisītaṁ atiuṇhaṁ, atisāyamidaṁ ahu; Iti vissaṭṭhakammante, khaṇā accenti māṇave.

“It’s too cold, too hot, too late,” they say. When the young neglect their work like this, opportunities pass them by.
Yo ca sītañca uṇhañca, tiṇā bhiyyo na maññati; Karaṁ purisakiccāni, so sukhā na vihāyati.
But one who considers heat and cold as no more than blades of grass— he does his duties as a man, and his happiness never fails.
Dabbaṁ kusaṁ poṭakilaṁ, usīraṁ muñjapabbajaṁ; Urasā panudissāmi, vivekamanubrūhayan”ti.
With my chest I’ll thrust aside the grasses, vines, canes, the vetiver, rushes and reeds, and foster seclusion.
