Let us live happily then, not hating those who hate us! Among men who hate us let us dwell free from hatred! Let us live happily then, free from all ailments among the ailing! Among men who are ailing let us dwell free from ailments! Let us live happily, then, free from greed among the greedy! Among men who are greedy let us dwell free from greed!
