SabbamittaSabbamittattheragāthā

People are attached to people;“Jano janamhi sambaddho, people depend on people;janamevassito jano; people are hurt by people;Jano janena heṭhīyati, and people hurt people.heṭheti ca jano janaṁ.

So what’s the point of people,Ko hi tassa janenattho, or those born of people?janena janitena vā; Go, abandon these people,Janaṁ ohāya gacchaṁ taṁ, who’ve hurt so many people.heṭhayitvā bahuṁ janan”ti.
