9.2.117

‘‘Pāpañce puriso kayirā, na naṃ kayirā punappunaṃ;
Na tamhi chandaṃ kayirātha, dukkho pāpassa uccayo’’ti.

117. Should a man commit sin, he should not repeat his sin again and again;
He should not seek after evil; suffering is the outcome of evil.

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