(Burmese text): စရသုတ်၊ သွား,ရပ်,ထိုင်,လျောင်း ဣရိယာပုထ် ၄-ပါး၌ဖြစ်ပေါ်လာသော ကာမဝိတက်,ဗျာပါဒဝိတက်,ဝိဟိံ သာဝိတက် ၃-ပါးကို လက်ခံသောသူသည် ''အမြဲမပြတ် ပျင်းရိသော သူ,ဝီရိယနည်းသော သူမည်၏''၊ ထိုဝိတက် ၃-ပါးကို လက်မခံသောသူသည် ''အမြဲမပြတ်ဝီရိယရှိသော သူ,နိဗ္ဗာန်သို့ စေလွှတ်အပ်သော စိတ်ရှိသောသူ မည်၏''ဟု ဟောကြားတော်မူသော သုတ်။
(Auto-Translation): The Sutta states that those who accept the three types of defilements arising from the four postures-sitting, standing, walking, and lying down-namely carnal desire, aversion, and ignorance, are "always weary and lacking in energy," while those who do not accept these three defilements are "always energetic and possess a mind inclined towards Nibbana."
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
