173.Whoever,by good deed, covers the evil done, such a one illumines this world like the moon freed from clouds.
若作惡業已,覆之以善者,
彼照耀此世,如月出雲翳。
174.Blind is this world; few are there who clearly see; as birds that escape from a net few go to heaven.
此世界盲瞑;能得此者少。
如鳥脫羅網,鮮有昇天者。

天鵝飛行太陽道,以神通力可行空。
智者破魔王魔眷,得能脫離於世間。
176.There is no evil that cannot be done by a lying person, who has transgressed the one law(of truthfulness)and who is indifferent to a world beyond.
違犯一(乘)法,及說妄語者,
不信來世者,則無惡不作。
177.Verily, the misers go not to celestial realms. Fools do not indeed praise liberality; the wise man rejoices in giving and thereby becomes happy thereafter.
慳者不生天。愚不讚布施。
智者隨喜施,後必得安樂。
178.Better than sole sovereignty over the earth, better than going to heaven, better than even lordship over all the worlds is the Fruit of a Stream-winner.
一統大地者,得生天上者,
一切世間主,不及預流勝。
