| Manopubbaṅgamā dhammā, manoseṭṭhā manomayā; | Mind precedes all phenomena, mind matters most, Everything is mind-made, |
| manasā ce paduṭṭhena, bhāsati vā karoti vā; | If based in impure mind, whatever one says or does, |
| tato naṃ dukkhamanveti, cakkaṃva vahato padaṃ. | Suffering is bound to follow, As the cartwheel follows the hoof of a draught animal. |
