### [313](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.313)

Kayirā ce kayirāthenaṃ,  
daḷhamenaṃ parakkame;  
Sithilo hi paribbājo,  
bhiyyo ākirate rajaṃ.

> If anything is to be done, let a man do it, let him attack it vigorously! A careless pilgrim only scatters the dust of his passions more widely.
