sn.1.7 Saṁyutta Nikāya (Linked Discourses)

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.”
