Ajinattheragāthā Ajina
“Api ce hoti tevijjo, Even a master of the three knowledges,

Appaññātoti naṁ bālā, is looked down upon for being unknown
avajānanti ajānatā. by ignorant fools.
Yo ca kho annapānassa, But any person here
lābhī hotidha puggalo; who gets food and drink
Pāpadhammopi ce hoti, is honored by them,
so nesaṁ hoti sakkato”ti. even if they are of bad character.
