The Sākiyans and the Koliyans were kindred tribes who nearly<br />

to prevent bloodshed, went to them and gave them this<br />

teaching, following which they relented.<br />

verinesu manussesu viharāma averino.<br />

Let us live on without hatred,<br />

amongst those who do have hatred,<br />

amongst humans who have hatred<br />

let us now live without hatred.<br />

āturesu manussesu viharāma anāturā.<br />

Let us live on without sickness,<br />

amongst those who do have sickness,<br />

amongst humans who have sickness<br />

let us now live without sickness.<br />

199. Susukhaṁ vata jīvāma ussukesu anussukā<br />

ussukesu manussesu viharāma anussukā.<br />
