Katamāni cattāri? What four?

Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri agatigamanānīti. These are the four ways of making prejudiced decisions.

Chandā dosā bhayā mohā, If you act against the teaching

yo dhammaṁ ativattati; out of favoritism, hostility, cowardice, or stupidity,

Nihīyati tassa yaso, your fame fades away,

kāḷapakkheva candimÄā€ti. like the moon in the waning fortnight.ā€
