Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Lobhaṁ, bhikkhave, anabhijānaṁ aparijānaṁ tattha cittaṁ avirājayaṁ appajahaṁ abhabbo dukkhakkhayāya.
Lobhañca kho, bhikkhave, abhijānaṁ parijānaṁ tattha cittaṁ virājayaṁ pajahaṁ bhabbo dukkhakkhayāyā”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Yena lobhena luddhāse,
sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ;
Taṁ lobhaṁ sammadaññāya,
pajahanti vipassino;
Pahāya na punāyanti,
imaṁ lokaṁ kudācanan”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Navamaṁ.
