So I have heard. Evaṁ me sutaṁ—At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants. ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā kosalesu cārikaṁ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ. Now at that time several young students were passing by not far from the Buddha in a teasing manner. Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā māṇavakā bhagavato avidūre sadhāyamānarūpā atikkamanti. The Buddha saw them. Addasā kho bhagavā sambahule māṇavake avidūre sadhāyamānarūpe atikkante.

Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment: Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṁ viditvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

“Dolts pretending to be astute, “Parimuṭṭhā paṇḍitābhāsā, they talk, their words out of bounds. vācāgocarabhāṇino; They blab at will, their mouths agape, Yāvicchanti mukhāyāmaṁ, and no-one knows what leads them on.” yena nītā na taṁ vidū”ti.

Navamaṁ.
