76.46

The Buddha told Ānanda: / When humans live in the world, / Disaster emerges from the mouth. / One should guard the mouth / More vigilantly than a fierce fire. / When a fierce fire blazes, / It burns worldly wealth; / When harsh speech blazes, / It burns the seven noble treasures. / For all sentient beings, / Disaster emerges from the mouth: / It is the axe that destroys the body, / The calamity that ruins the body.
