# Dhammapada 355

Dhammapada 355

- **Language:** Pāli

### [355](https://indike.org/pramana/in.bauddha.theravada.sp.khuddaka.dhammapada.355)

Hananti bhogā dummedhaṃ,  
no ca pāragavesino;  
Bhogataṇhāya dummedho,  
hanti aññeva attanaṃ.

> Pleasures destroy the foolish, if they look not for the other shore; the foolish by his thirst for pleasures destroys himself, as if he were his own enemy.  
> \[352. As to nirutti, and its technical meaning among the Buddhists, see Burnouf, Lotus, p. 841. Fausböll translates 'niruttis vocabulorum peritus,' which may be right, if we take nirutti in the sense of the language of the Scriptures. See note to verse 363. Could not sannipâta mean samhitâ or sannikarsha? Sannipâta occurs in the Sâkala-prâtisâkhya, but with a different meaning.  
> — Friedrich Max Müller 1881, The Dhammapada (Sacred Books of the East 10.1)
