     8. පමාදං අප‍්පමාදෙන යදා නුදති පණ‍්ඩිතො 28
     පඤ‍්ඤාපාසාදමාරුය‍්හ අසොකො සොකිනිං පජං
     පබ‍්බතට‍්ඨො’ව භුම‍්මට‍්ඨෙ ධීරො බාලෙ අවෙක‍්ඛති.

     8. Pamādaṃ appamādena yadā nudati paṇḍito 28
     Paññāpāsādamāruyha asoko sokiniṃ pajaṃ
     Pabbataṭṭho'va bhummaṭṭhe dhīro bāle avekkhati.

     8. When the astute dispel negligence by means of diligence, 28
     having ascended the palace of wisdom, the sorrow-free behold this generation of sorrow,
     as a wise man on a mountain-top beholds the fools below.

     (literally, “8. When the astute dispel negligence by means of diligence, 28
     having ascended the palace of wisdom, the sorrow-free behold this generation of sorrow,
     as a wise man on a mountain-top beholds the fools on the ground.”)
