DHP 129-145:1

Sabbe tasanti daṇḍassa,

All tremble at the rod,

Sabbe tasanti daṇḍassa,

All tremble at the rod,

Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni,

Creatures love happiness,

Sukhakāmāni bhūtāni,

Creatures love happiness,

Māvoca pharusaṁ kañci,

Don’t speak harshly,

Sace neresi attānaṁ,

If you still yourself

Yathā daṇḍena gopālo,

As a cowherd drives the cows

Atha pāpāni kammāni,

The fool does not understand

Yo daṇḍena adaṇḍesu,

One who violently attacks

Vedanaṁ pharusaṁ jāniṁ,

harsh pain; loss;

Rājato vā upasaggaṁ,

hazards from rulers;

Atha vāssa agārāni,

or else their home
