Accharāsutta

EN
“It’s resounding with a group of nymphs, but haunted by a gang of goblins! This grove is called ‘Deluding’. How will I keep going?”
PL
“Accharāgaṇasaṅghuṭṭhaṁ, pisācagaṇasevitaṁ; Vanantaṁ mohanaṁ nāma, kathaṁ yātrā bhavissatī”ti.
EN
“That path is called ‘the direct way’, and it’s headed for the place called ‘fearless’. The chariot is called ‘unswerving’, fitted with wheels of the teaching.
PL
“Ujuko nāma so maggo, abhayā nāma sā disā; Ratho akūjano nāma, dhammacakkehi saṁyuto.
EN
Conscience is its bench-back, mindfulness its upholstery. I say the teaching is the driver, with right view running out in front.
PL
Hirī tassa apālambo, satyassa parivāraṇaṁ; Dhammāhaṁ sārathiṁ brūmi, sammādiṭṭhipurejavaṁ.
EN
Any woman or man who has such a vehicle, by means of this vehicle has drawn near to extinguishment.”
PL
Yassa etādisaṁ yānaṁ, itthiyā purisassa vā; Sa ve etena yānena, nibbānasseva santike”ti.
