(Burmese text): ဥပကသုတ်၊ ဤသုတ်၌ ＂သူတပါးကို ကဲ့ရဲ့ရှုတ်ချသော သူသည် ကုသိုလ်တရားတို့ကို မဖြစ်ပွါးစေသောကြောင့် ကဲ့ရဲ့ထိုက်သူ,အပြစ်ရှိသူ ဖြစ်သည်＂ဟု မဏ္ဍိကာ၏သားဖြစ်သော ဥပက ကမြတ်စွာဘုရားအား လျောက်ထားလေရာ ＂ယင်းသို့ ဖြစ်လျှင် သင်သည်သာလျှင် သူတစ်ပါးကို ကဲ့ရဲ့ရှုတ်ချနေသူဖြစ်၍ ကုသိုလ် တရားကို မဖြစ်ပွါးစေသောကြောင့် ကဲ့ရဲ့ထိုက်သူ ဖြစ်သည်＂ စသည်ဖြင့် မြတ်စွာဘုရားသည် ဥပကကို ဆုံးမတော်မူလေသည်။
(Auto-Translation): In the scripture, it is stated, "One who criticizes another is a wrongdoer because they prevent the progress of merit." Therefore, the Blessed One, in addressing Upaka, emphasized, "If that is the case, you are indeed someone who criticizes another and prevents the progress of merit; thus, you are a wrongdoer." In this way, the Blessed One admonished Upaka.
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.
