1"Bhikkhus, there are these four things contrary to the good Dhamma. What four? (1) Valuing anger, not the good Dhamma; (2) valuing denigration, not the good Dhamma; (3) valuing gain, not the good Dhamma; and (4) valuing honor, not the good Dhamma. These are four things contrary to the good Dhamma.

2"There are, bhikkhus, these four other things in accord with the good Dhamma. What four? (1) Valuing the good Dhamma, not anger; (2) valuing the good Dhamma, not denigration; (3) valuing the good Dhamma, not gain; and (4) valuing the good Dhamma, not honor. These are the four other things in accord with the good Dhamma."

3Bhikkhus who value anger and denigration,
who value gain and honor,
are like rotten seeds in a fertile field:
they do not grow in the good Dhamma.

4But those who value the good Dhamma,
who dwelled thus in the past and dwell thus now,
are like moistened medicinal plants:
they grow in the Dhamma.

2Cattārome, bhikkhave, saddhammā. Katame cattāro? Saddhammagarutā na kodhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na makkhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na lābhagarutā, saddhammagarutā na sakkāragarutā. Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro saddhammāti.

3Kodhamakkhagaru bhikkhu,
lābhasakkāragāravo;
Sukhette pūtibījaṁva,
saddhamme na virūhati.

4Ye ca saddhammagaruno,
vihaṁsu viharanti ca;
Te ve dhamme virūhanti,

Catutthaṁ.
