5 - Balavagga, The Fool
12- Ahipeta Vatthu
Na hi papam katam kammam, sajju khiramva muccati;71: An evil deed does not immediately bear fruit, just as the newly-drawn milk does not curdle at once; but it follows the fool burning him like live coal covered with ashes.
dahantam balarnanveti, bhasmacchannova pavako.
