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.
