8.4.p3

‘‘Ussūraseyyaṃ ālasyaṃ, caṇḍikkaṃ dīghasoṇḍiyaṃ;
Ekassaddhānagamanaṃ paradārūpasevanaṃ;
Etaṃ brāhmaṇa sevassu, anatthaṃ te bhavissatī’’ti.

Unprofitable is sleeping after sunrise, idleness, the moonlight, long-continued prosperity,
Going on journeys, seeking after other men's wives.
Seek after these things, Brahman, and you will gain that which will be of no advantage to you.

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