     8. පමාදං අප‍්පමාදෙන යදා නුදති පණ‍්ඩිතො 28
     පඤ‍්ඤාපාසාදමාරුය‍්හ අසොකො සොකිනිං පජං

     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.”)
