1.1

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—

So I have heard.

1.2

ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā kosalesu cārikaṁ carati mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ.

At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of mendicants.

1.3

Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā māṇavakā bhagavato avidūre sadhāyamānarūpā atikkamanti.

Now at that time several young students were passing by not far from the Buddha in a teasing manner.

1.4

Addasā kho bhagavā sambahule māṇavake avidūre sadhāyamānarūpe atikkante.

The Buddha saw them.

2.1

Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṁ viditvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:

3.1

“Parimuṭṭhā paṇḍitābhāsā,

“Dolts pretending to be astute,

3.2

vācāgocarabhāṇino;

they talk, their words out of bounds.

3.3

Yāvicchanti mukhāyāmaṁ,

They blab at will, their mouths agape,

3.4

yena nītā na taṁ vidū”ti.

and no-one knows what leads them on.”

3.5

Navamaṁ.
