245. Hare is the life of a modest1 one who ever seeks purity, is detached, humble, clean in life, and reflective2.
生活於慚愧，常求於清淨，不著欲謙遜，住清淨生活，
（富於）識見者，其人生活難。

246, 247. Whoso  is  this world destroys life; tells lies, what is not given, goes to others' wives, and the man who is addicted to intoxicating3 drinks, such a one digs up his own root in this very world.
若人於世界，殺生說妄語，取人所不與，犯於別人妻。
及耽湎飲酒，行為如是者，即於此世界，毀掘自（善）根。

248. Know thus, O good man! "Not easy of restraint4 are evil things." Let not greed and wickedness drag you to protracted misery.
如是汝應知：不制則為惡；莫貪與非法，自陷於永苦。

249. People give according to their faith and as they are pleased. Whoever therein is envious of others」 food and drink, gains no peace either by day or by night.
若信樂故施。心嫉他得食，彼於晝或夜，不得入三昧。

250. But he who has this（feeling）fully cut off, uprooted and destroyed, gains peace by day and by night.
若斬斷此（心），拔根及除滅，則於晝或夜，彼得入三昧。
