Sambhūtattheragāthā

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Sambhūtattheragāthā

“Yo dandhakāle tarati, taraṇīye ca dandhaye; Ayoni saṁvidhānena, bālo dukkhaṁ nigacchati.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Sambhūta

Hurrying when it’s time to dawdle; dawdling when it’s time to hurry; being so disorganized a fool falls into suffering.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Tassatthā parihāyanti, kāḷapakkheva candimā; Āyasakyañca pappoti, mittehi ca virujjhati.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Their good fortune wastes away like the moon in the waning fortnight. They become disgraced and alienated from their friends.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Yo dandhakāle dandheti, taraṇīye ca tāraye; Yoniso saṁvidhānena, sukhaṁ pappoti paṇḍito.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Dawdling when it’s time to dawdle; hurrying when it’s time to hurry; being so well organized, an astute person comes into happiness.

Pāli · Sutta Piṭaka (Pāli, Mahāsaṅgīti)

Tassatthā paripūrenti, sukkapakkheva candimā; Yaso kittiñca pappoti, mittehi na virujjhatī”ti.

English · Bhikkhu Sujato

Their good fortune flourishes like the moon in the waxing fortnight. They become famous and respected, not alienated from their friends.
