sn.1.7 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

Not Penetrated

At Savatthi. Standing to one side, that devatā recited this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:

“Those who have not penetrated things,
Who may be led into others’ doctrines,
Fast asleep, they have not yet awakened:
It is time for them to awaken.”

The Blessed One:

“Those who have penetrated things well,
Who cannot be led into others’ doctrines,
Those awakened ones, having rightly known,
Fare evenly amidst the uneven.”

Not Comprehending

At Sāvatthī.
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“Those who don’t comprehend the teachings,
who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;
asleep, they have not woken up:
it is time for them to wake!”
“Those who clearly comprehend the teachings,
who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;
they’ve woken up, they rightly know,
they live smoothly in the rough.”
