[235] [The devaputta Kāmada:] "The path (magga) is hard to travel, Blessed One; it is uneven."
[The Blessed One:]
"Even on what is hard to travel, on the uneven, the noble ones (ariyā) go, Kāmada;
the ignoble, on the uneven path, fall down headlong;
for the noble ones the path is even, for the noble ones are even amidst the uneven."
