Very Confused

At Sāvatthī.

Standing to one side, that deity spoke this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Those who are very confused about the teachings
may be led astray by the doctrines of others.
Asleep, they have not woken up:
it is time for them to wake!”

“Those who are unconfused about the teachings,
won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others.
They have woken up, they rightly know,
smoothly they walk in the rough.”
