經律異相 29.5

29.5

"Look at this kind of sentient being,
Blinking with a wrinkled and shriveled face;
Crouching, its nature is light and rash;
What has been accomplished, it can ruin.
Its allocated nature is like this;
How could it construct a palace?
It breaks and snaps flowering and fruiting trees,
Unfit to be kept near to men;
Much less could it build a palace!
Send it quickly back to the wild woods!"
