[554] "Bhikkhus, did you see the old jackal dwelling about at the time of dawn in the night?"
"Yes, venerable sir."
"That old jackal, bhikkhus, afflicted with the disease called ukkaṇṇaka [mange], finds no delight when it has gone onto dry land, finds no delight when it has gone to the foot of a tree, finds no delight when it has gone into the open air; wherever it goes, wherever it stands, wherever it sits, wherever it lies down, there it meets with calamity and disaster (anayabyasana).
"In just the same way, bhikkhus, here a certain bhikkhu, overwhelmed by gain, honour, and fame (lābhasakkārasiloka), his mind (citta) obsessed by it, finds no delight when he has gone to an empty dwelling, finds no delight when he has gone to the foot of a tree, finds no delight when he has gone into the open air; wherever he goes, wherever he stands, wherever he sits, wherever he lies down, there he meets with calamity and disaster.
"So dreadful, bhikkhus, is gain, honour, and fame … Thus, bhikkhus, should you train yourselves."
The eighth [sutta].
