It’s good to see the noble ones,staying with them is always good.Were you not to see fools,you’d always be happy.
Sāhu dassanamariyānaṁ,sannivāso sadā sukho;Adassanena bālānaṁ,niccameva sukhī siyā.
For one who consorts with foolsgrieves long.Painful is living with fools,like being stuck with your enemy.Happy is living with an attentive one,like meeting with your kin.
Bālasaṅgatacārī hi,dīghamaddhāna socati;Dukkho bālehi saṁvāso,amitteneva sabbadā;Dhīro ca sukhasaṁvāso,ñātīnaṁva samāgamo.
Therefore:An attentive one, wise and learned,a behemoth of virtue, true to their vows, noble:follow a true and intelligent person such as this,as the moon tracks the path of the stars.
Tasmā hi—Dhīrañca paññañca bahussutañca,Dhorayhasīlaṁ vatavantamariyaṁ;Taṁ tādisaṁ sappurisaṁ sumedhaṁ,Bhajetha nakkhattapathaṁva candimā.
Sukhavaggo pannarasamo.
