Verse 2. Sutra Three - Sundari

Relying on their expertise, how can they abandon it,

For they wish with ease to depart from this world,

Unperturbed they cherish supreme virtue, 

The making of rules they desire, whilst some [people] they criticise.

以行當那捨,
Yǐ hángdang nà shě,
棄世欲自在,
qì shì yù zìzài,
抱至德不亂,
bào zhì dé bù luàn,
制欲人所詰。

Parallel: The Pali Sutta Nipata, Atthakavagga - Chap. 3, Verse 781
