Uppathasutta  Deviation

“Kiṁsu uppatho akkhāto,  “What’s declared to be a deviation?
kiṁsu rattindivakkhayo;  What is ending day and night?
Kiṁ malaṁ brahmacariyassa,  What’s the stain of chastity?
kiṁ sinānamanodakan”ti.  What’s the waterless bath?”

“Rāgo uppatho akkhāto,  “Lust is declared to be a deviation.
Vayo rattindivakkhayo;  Youth is ending day and night.
Itthī malaṁ brahmacariyassa,  Women are the stain of chastity,
Etthāyaṁ sajjate pajā;  to which this generation clings.
Tapo ca brahmacariyañca,  Fervor and chastity
Taṁ sinānamanodakan”ti.  are the waterless bath.”
