82.11

'I wish to proceed to an exalted state,
Yet by breaking the precepts you would cause me to fall.
To renounce the precepts is like this;
How can it be called loving affection?
I have diligently practiced the roots of the precepts,
Yet now you wish to plunder them.
Among the five precepts that I uphold,
The precept against wine is the weightiest.
Now wishing forcefully to ruin me,
You cannot be called kin.'
