2v.805 "Having abandoned all the knots
As one fully released,
It isn’t good for you, an ascetic,
To be instructing others." [n.561] Spk: This yakkha, it is said, belonged to Māra's faction (mārapakkhika-yakkha). His verse parallels Māra's reproach to the Buddha at v. 474, and the Buddha’s reply echoes v. 475. Spk-pṭ explains the purport to be that the wise man's compassion and sympathy are not tainted by worldly affection.

3v.806 "If, O Sakka, for some reason
Intimacy with anyone should arise,
The wise man ought not to stir his mind
With compassion towards such a person.

4v.807 "But if with a mind clear and pure
He gives instructions to others,
He does not become fettered
By his compassion and sympathy." [n.562] Spk glosses vaṇṇena with kāraṇena (as in v. 796c; see n. 555), and Spk-pṭ glosses yena kena ci with gāhaṭṭhena vā pabbajitena vā, "with a householder or one gone forth," thus separating it from vaṇṇena and treating it as an expression of personal reference. The purport of the Buddha’s verses is that a wise man should not take to instructing others if he is at risk of becoming attached, but he may do so out of compassion when his mind is purified and his sympathy is not tainted by worldly affection. sn.i.207

vippamuttassa te sato;
Samaṇassa na taṁ sādhu,

3"Yena kenaci vaṇṇena,
saṁvāso sakka jāyati;
Na taṁ arahati sappañño,
manasā anukampituṁ.

4Manasā ce pasannena,

Na tena hoti saṁyutto,
yānukampā anuddayā"ti.
