Iron's rust

अयसाव मलं समुट्ठितं [समुट्ठाय ], ततुट्ठाय [तदुट्ठाय ] तमेव खादति।
एवं अतिधोनचारिनं, सानि कम्मानि [सककम्मानि ] नयन्ति दुग्गतिं॥
Just as rust — iron's impurity — eats the very iron from which it is born, so the deeds of one who lives slovenly lead him on to a bad destination.


Buddha (Dhammpad)
