All men- tal phe- no- me- na have mind as their fore- run- ner.
1 1 1 2 1 1 3
... They have mind as their chief.

... They are mind- made.

... If one speaks or acts with an e- vil mind,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2
... suf- fer- ing fol- lows him just as the wheel

About Pāvā

1 1 1
Thus I heard
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
At one time the Gra- cious One
1 1 1 1 1 1
was dwel- ling near Pā- vā,
1 1 1 1 1 1
near the Flock of Goats Shrine,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
at the home of the Flock of Goats yak- kha.
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Then at that time the Gra- cious One,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
in the dark- ness of the night,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
was sit- ting in the o- pen air,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
and the sky- god was rai- ning light- ly
1 1 1
drop by drop
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Then the Flock of Goats yak- kha
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
desi- ring to give rise to fear, ter- ror, and hor- ror in the Gra- cious One,
1 1 1 1 1 1
went to the Gra- cious One,
1 1 1 1
and after go- ing,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
not far a- way from the Gra- cious One
1 1 1 1 1
three times he called out
1 1 1 1 1 1 1
"Con- fu- sion, great con- fu- sion",
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
and he made a great con- fu- sion, "This is a de- mon for you, a- sce- tic!"
1 1 1 1 1
Then the Gra- cious One,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
hav- ing un- der- stood the sig- ni- fi- cance of it,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
on that oc- ca- sion u- ttered this ex- al- ted ut- te- rance:
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
"He is a brāh- ma- ṇa when he has gone be- yond in re- gard to his own things,
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
Then has he tran- scen- ded this de- mon and the great con- fu- sion."
