Sleepiness and Sloth

“Niddā tandī vijambhitā,

“Sleepiness, sloth, and yawning,

Aratī bhattasammado;

discontent, and grogginess after eating:

Etena nappakāsati,

because of this the noble path

Ariyamaggo idha pāṇinan”ti.

doesn’t shine for creatures here.”

“Niddaṁ tandiṁ vijambhitaṁ,

“Sleepiness, sloth, and yawning,

Aratiṁ bhattasammadaṁ;

discontent, and grogginess after eating:

Vīriyena naṁ paṇāmetvā,

when this is energetically fended off,

Ariyamaggo visujjhatī”ti.

the noble path is purified.”
