3.1.33

‘‘Phandanaṃ capalaṃ cittaṃ, dūrakkhaṃ dunnivārayaṃ;
Ujuṃ karoti medhāvī, usukārova tejanaṃ.

33. Thoughts, unsteady, fickle, difficult to guard, difficult to control,
A wise man makes straight, even as a fletcher his arrow.

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