2.3.p10

‘‘Doso rajo na ca pana reṇu vuccati,
Dosassetaṃ adhivacanaṃ rajoti;
Etaṃ rajaṃ vippajahitva bhikkhavo,
Viharanti te vigatarajassa sāsane.

Hatred, not dirt, is properly called impurity; to hatred is correctly applied the term “impurity.”
Monks should rid themselves of this form of impurity and live faithful to the religion of him who is devoid of hatred.

Eugene Watson Burlingame 1921, Buddhist Legends (Harvard Oriental Series 28–30)
