" "
Though shall not steal nor kill;
Not speak a lie;
Be angry with no one, Nor scorn another man;
Nor glory in thyself;
Nor others hold you to blame This is your inward purity;
This is your outward purity;
This is the way to win our Lord:
Kudalasangama

Standing things shall fall,
that which moves shall stay
