22: The Chapter about the Underworld – 271<br />

Do what is well-done<br />

A jealous woman found out her husband had been unfaithful<br />

with one of their female slaves, and had her nose and ears cut<br />

off, threw her into a dungeon and then went to listen to the<br />

<strong>Dhamma</strong>; one of her relatives discovered the matter and<br />

informed the Buddha, who gave the teaching in this verse.<br />

314. Akataṁ dukkataṁ seyyo, pacchā tapati dukkataṁ,<br />

katañ-ca sukataṁ seyyo, yaṁ katvā nānutappati.<br />

Better undone is wrong-doing,<br />

wrong-doing one later regrets,<br />

better done is what is well-done,<br />

which, when done, one does not regret.
