“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā madhurāyaṁ.
“Mendicants, there are these five drawbacks of Madhurā.
Katame pañca?
What five?
Visamā, bahurajā, caṇḍasunakhā, vāḷayakkhā, dullabhapiṇḍā.
The ground is uneven and dusty, the dogs are fierce, the native spirits are vicious, and it’s hard to get almsfood.
Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā madhurāyan”ti.
These are the five drawbacks of Madhurā.”
Akkosabhaṇḍanasīlaṁ,
bahubhāṇī dve akhantiyo;
Apāsādikā dve vuttā,
aggismiṁ madhurena cāti.
