浮言翳真理　為此沈惡趣
去彼暫歸人　出言無曉喻
生無信仰心　常被他笑具
為人覺羞恥　何不出典句

Superficial words obscure true principle; / Because of this, one sinks into the evil destinies. / Leaving there to return temporarily to human form, / When speaking, one is unable to make oneself understood. / In life, no mind of faith and trust [is placed in them], / Always made an object of ridicule by others. / As a person feeling shame and humiliation, / Why not produce canonical sentences?
