4 - Pupphavagga, Flowers

Ko imam pathavim vicessati, yamalokanca imam sadevakam;
ko dhammapadam sudesitam, kusalo pupphamiva pacessati.
Sekho pathavim vicessati, yamalokanca imam sadevakam;
sekho dhammapadam sudesitam, kusalo pupphamiva pacessati.

44: Who shall examine this earth (i.e., this body), the world of Yama (i.e., the four Apayas) and the world of man together with the world of devas? Who shall examine the well-taught Path of Virtue (Dhammapada) as an expert florist picks and chooses flowers?
45: The Ariya Sekha2 shall examine this earth (i.e., the body), the world of Yama (i.e., the four Apayas) and the world of man together with the world of devas. The Ariya Sekha shall examine the well-taught Path of Virtue (Dhammapada) as an expert florist picks and chooses flowers.
