2: The Chapter about Heedfulness – 37<br />

Heedfulness is praised<br />

Prince Magha did good works in his village and inspired<br />

thirty-three others to join him; later they were reborn as Sakka<br />

and his company; the Buddha spoke this verse explaining what<br />

had happened.<br />

30. Appamādena Maghavā devānaṁ seṭṭhataṁ gato,<br />

appamādaṁ pasaṁsanti, pamādo gar a hito sadā.<br />

Through heedfulness did Maghavā<br />

attain leadership of the gods,<br />

the good always praise heedfulness,<br />

but heedlessness is always blamed.
