So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof. Then, late at night, the glorious Kokanadā the Younger, Pajjunna’s daughter, lighting up the entire Great Wood, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and recited these verses in the Buddha’s presence:
“She came here, beautiful as a flash of lightning, Kokanadā, Pajjunna’s daughter. Revering the Buddha and the teaching, she spoke these verses full of meaning.
You should never do anything bad by speech or mind or body in all the world. Having given up sensual pleasures, <j>mindful and aware, you shouldn’t keep doing <j>what’s painful and pointless.”
PL
Pāpaṁ na kayirā vacasā manasā, Kāyena vā kiñcana sabbaloke; Kāme pahāya satimā sampajāno, Dukkhaṁ na sevetha anatthasaṁhitan”ti.

Satullapakāyikavaggo catuttho. Tassuddānaṁ Sabbhimaccharinā sādhu, na santujjhānasaññino;
