one transgresses against the Dhamma,
one's fame diminishes like the moon
in the dark fortnight.

1"Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, agatigamanāni. Katamāni cattāri? Chandāgatiṁ gacchati, dosāgatiṁ gacchati, mohāgatiṁ gacchati, bhayāgatiṁ gacchati – imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri agatigamanāni.

2Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, nāgatigamanāni. Katamāni cattāri? Na chandāgatiṁ gacchati, na dosāgatiṁ gacchati, na mohāgatiṁ gacchati, na bhayāgatiṁ gacchati – imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri nāgatigamanānīti.

3Chandā dosā bhayā mohā,
yo dhammaṁ ativattati;
Nihīyati tassa yaso,
kāḷapakkheva candimā.

4Chandā dosā bhayā mohā,
yo dhammaṁ nātivattati;
Āpūrati tassa yaso,
sukkapakkheva candimā"ti.

Navamaṁ.
