Paṭhamaagatisutta

EN
“Mendicants, there are these four ways of making prejudiced decisions. What four? Making decisions prejudiced by favoritism, hostility, stupidity, and cowardice. These are the four ways of making prejudiced decisions.
PL
“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, agatigamanāni. Katamāni cattāri? Chandāgatiṁ gacchati, dosāgatiṁ gacchati, mohāgatiṁ gacchati, bhayāgatiṁ gacchati— Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri agatigamanānīti.
EN
If you act against the teaching out of favoritism, hostility, cowardice, or stupidity, your fame fades away, like the moon in the waning fortnight.”
PL
Chandā dosā bhayā mohā, yo dhammaṁ ativattati; Nihīyati tassa yaso, kāḷapakkheva candimā”ti.
PL
Sattamaṁ.
