1.1“Diṭṭhā mayā dhammadharā upāsakā,I’ve seen lay disciples <j>who have memorized discourses,1.2Kāmā aniccā iti bhāsamānā;saying, “Sensual pleasures are impermanent”.1.3Sārattarattā maṇikuṇḍalesu,But they’re obsessed with jeweled earrings,1.4Puttesu dāresu ca te apekkhā.concerned for their partners and children.

2.1Addhā na jānanti yatodha dhammaṁ,To be honest, they don’t know Dhamma,2.2Kāmā aniccā iti cāpi āhu;even though they say <j>“Sensual pleasures are impermanent”.2.3Rāgañca tesaṁ na balatthi chettuṁ,They don’t have the power to cut their lust,2.4Tasmā sitā puttadāraṁ dhanañcā”ti.so they cling to children, wives, and wealth.
