[91] The seer (isi) Saṅkicca spoke to the fosterer of the realm of the Kāsis, who was seated in the Dāyapassa grove: "Great king, listen to me. "When one is going along a wrong path, if he should act upon the word of him who points out the road, no thorn would beset him. "When one has entered upon unrighteousness (adhamma), if he should act upon the word of him who instructs him in righteousness (dhamma), he would not go to a bad destination (duggati)."
