Dhammapada Verses 242 & 243: The Greatest Stain
Dhammapada verse(s) in Pali:
Verse 242
malitthiyā duccaritaṃ, maccheraṃ dadato malaṃ.
malā ve pāpakā dhammā, asmiṃ loke paramhi ca.
Verse 243
tato malā malataraṃ, avijjā paramaṃ malaṃ.
etaṃ malaṃ pahantvāna, nimmalā hotha bhikkhavo.
English translation of verse(s):
Verse 242
Unchastity is the taint in a woman; niggardliness is the taint in a giver. Taints, indeed, are all evil things, both in this world and the next.
Verse 243
A worse taint than these is ignorance, the worst of all taints. Destroy this one taint and become taintless, O monks!
(Translated by Acharya Buddharakkhita)
