Verses on Dhamma 5.11.70

5.11.70

‘‘Māse māse kusaggena, bālo bhuñjeyya bhojanaṃ;
Na so saṅkhātadhammānaṃ, kalaṃ agghati soḷasi’’nti.

70. Though month after month with the tip of a blade of kusa grass a simpleton should
eat his food,
Yet is he not worth a sixteenth part of them that have well weighed the Law.
