1.9

Do not rely on [non-]Dharma, / and do not cultivate heedlessness. / Do not cherish wrong views, / and do not foster worldly [concerns]. / Whoever possesses great / mundane right view / will not go to lower realms / even for a thousand lifetimes. / Those who apply themselves to heedlessness / are foolish, thoughtless people; / just as a merchant guards his wealth, / the wise person maintains vigilance. / Not engaging in heedlessness, / not hoarding delights in desires, / always being heedful in mind, / one will attain the exhaustion of taints. / Even if the exhaustion of taints is not attained, / do not be heedless at this time; / like beasts [that are not] lions, / the heedless will be slain. / The heedless man who consorts with another's wife / will experience these four states of mind: / he gains no merit, he does not sleep happily, / third, he is disgraced, and fourth, he goes to hell. / Gaining no merit, he heads toward evil destinies; / full of fear and dread, there is little pleasure. / The king inflicts severe punishment, / and when his body breaks up, he boils in the hells. / Whoever wishes to see their own happiness / should act like the noble ones of old. / Lest one become like a fool's cart, / the steadfast one must not slacken vigor. / Just as a fool's cart, / having left the fine great road, / travels on bad paths, / breaking its axle and coming to ruin, / so too, having abandoned the Dharma, / the fool who follows non-Dharma / falls under the sway of Māra, / and like the broken axle, meets destruction. / Those who abandon what should be done / and perform what should not be done, / puffed up with heedlessness— / their taints increase. / For those whose taints increase, / the untainted state is far away. / Those who constantly and properly practice / mindfulness related to the body, / do not do what is not to be done, / and constantly perform what should be done, / endowed with mindfulness and vigilance,
