    Dhammapada Verse 227 - 230: Blamed

    Dhammapada verse(s) in Pali:


    Verse 227
    porāṇametaṃ atula, netaṃ ajjatanāmiva.
    nindanti tuṇhimāsīnaṃ, nindanti bahubhāṇinaṃ.
    mitabhāṇimpi nindanti, natthi loke anindito.

    Verse 228
    na cāhu na ca bhavissati, na cetarahi vijjati.
    ekantaṃ nindito poso, ekantaṃ vā pasaṃsito.

    Verse 229
    yaṃ ce viññū pasaṃsanti, anuvicca suve suve.
    acchiddavuttiṃ medhāviṃ, paññāsīlasamāhitaṃ.

    Verse 230
    nikkhaṃ jambonadasseva, ko taṃ ninditumarahati.
    devāpi naṃ pasaṃsanti, brahmunāpi pasaṃsito.



    English translation of verse(s):


    Verse 227
    O Atula! Indeed, this is an ancient practice, not one only of today: they blame those who remain silent, they blame those who speak much, they blame those who speak in moderation. There is none in the world who is not blamed.

    Verse 228
    There never was, there never will be, nor is there now, a person who is wholly blamed or wholly praised.

    Verse 229
    But the man whom the wise praise, after observing him day after day, is one of flawless character, wise, and endowed with knowledge and virtue.

    Verse 230
    Who can blame such a one, as worthy as a coin of refined gold? Even the gods praise him; by Brahma, too, is he praised.
