1.3.7 Hirīsuttaṃ - By Sense of Shame

Hirīsuttaṃ By Sense of Shame
“Hirīnisedho puriso,
koci lokasmiṃ vijjati. 		“Is there anyone in this world who
by sense of shame restrains himself,
yo nindaṃ apabodhati,
asso bhadro kasāmivā ”ti. 		who prevents blame
like a well-trained horse the whip?”
“Hirīnisedhā tanuyā,
ye caranti sadā satā; 		“Few are those, who by sense of shame restrain
themselves, always wander about with mindfulness,
Antaṃ dukkhassa pappuyya,
caranti visame saman”ti. 		Obtaining the end of suffering, they wander from
disharmony to harmony.”
