The Twin-Verses ⧸ Verse 7
The man who dwelleth contemplating pleasure,
With faculties incontinent,
In food immoderate,
Slothful, weak of will,
Him surely Maro overthrows,
As wind a weakling tree.
With faculties incontinent,
In food immoderate,
Slothful, weak of will,
Him surely Maro overthrows,
As wind a weakling tree.
English translation by Albert Edmunds, from Hymns of the Faith (Dhammapada) (1902).
