221.One should give up anger; one should abandon pride; one should overcome all fetters. Ills never befall him who clings not to mind and body and is passionless.
捨棄於忿怒,除滅於我慢,解脫一切縛,不執著名色,彼無一物者,苦不能相隨。
222.Whoso, as a rolling chariot, checks his uprisen anger, him I call a charioteer; other folk merely hold the reins.
若能抑忿發,如止急行車,是名(善)御者,於為執韁人。
223.Conquer anger by love; conquer evil by good; conquer the stingy one by giving; conquer the liar by truth.
以不忿勝忿;以善勝不善;以施勝慳吝;以實勝虛妄。
224.One should utter the truth; one should not be angry; one should give even from a scanty store to him who asks; by these three things one may go to the presence of the gods.
諦語不瞋恚,分施與乞者;以如是三事,能生於諸天。
225.Those sages who are harmless, and are ever restrained in body, go to the deathless state, where gone they never grieve.
彼無害牟尼,常調伏其身,到達不死境,無有悲憂處。
226.The Defilements of those who are ever vigilant, who train themselves day and night, who are wholly intent on Nibbana, fade away.
恆常醒覺者,日夜勤修學,志向於涅槃,息滅諸煩惱。
227.This, O Atula, is an old saying, it is not only of today: they blame those who sit silent, they blame those who speak too much; those speaking little too they blame; in this world no one is there unblamed.
阿多羅應知:此非今日事,古語已有之。默然為人誹,
多語為人誹,寡言為人誹;不為誹謗者,斯世實無有。
