22: The Chapter about the Underworld – 274<br />

Knowing what is blameable and blameless<br />

Some children of the families of unbelievers were forbidden to<br />

go to Jetavana, but when thirst overtook them one day they<br />

went anyway; the Buddha gave them an appropriate teaching<br />

and they converted; later they went to the monastery to ordain<br />

and the Buddha taught them with these verses.<br />

318. Avajje vajjamatino, vajje cāvajjadassino,<br />

micchādiṭṭhisamādānā sattā gacchanti duggatiṁ.<br />

Finding blame in what is blameless,<br />

not seeing blame in what is blamed,<br />

undertaking wrong views, beings<br />

will go to a bad destiny.<br />

319. Vajjañ-ca vajjato ñatvā, avajjañ-ca avajjato,<br />

sammādiṭṭhisamādānā sattā gacchanti suggatiṁ.<br />

Knowing blame in the blameable,<br />

and no blame in what is blameless,<br />

undertaking right views, beings<br />

will go to a good destiny.<br />
