आक्रोशपरिवादाभ्यां विहिंसन्त्यबुधा बुधान् । वक्ता पापमुपादत्ते क्षममाणो विमुच्यते,मूर्ख मनुष्य विद्वानोंको गाली और निन्दासे कष्ट पहुँचाते हैं। गाली देनेवाला पापका भागी होता है और क्षमा करनेवाला पापसे मुक्त हो जाता है
ākrośaparivādābhyāṃ vihiṃsanty abudhā budhān | vaktā pāpam upādatte kṣamamāṇo vimucyate ||
毗度罗教诲道：愚人以辱骂与诽谤伤害智者。出口伤人者自取其罪；能忍受而宽恕者，则从此罪中得解脱。
