Sabbamittattheragāthā  Sabbamitta

“Jano janamhi sambaddho, 
sambaddho → sambandho (sya1ed, sya2ed, mr)
People are attached to people;
janamevassito jano;  people depend on people;
Jano janena heṭhīyati,  people are hurt by people;
heṭheti ca jano janaṁ. 
heṭheti ca → heṭheti ca (sya1ed, sya2ed, pts1ed, pts2ed); bādheti ca (mr)
and people hurt people.

Ko hi tassa janenattho,  So what’s the point of people,
janena janitena vā;  or those born of people?
Janaṁ ohāya gacchaṁ taṁ, 
gacchaṁ taṁ → gaccheyya (sya1ed, sya2ed); gaccha taṁ (pts2ed)
Go, abandon these people,
heṭhayitvā bahuṁ janan”ti. 
heṭhayitvā → bādhayitvā (mr)
who’ve hurt so many people.

… Sabbamitto thero ….
