(Auto-Translation): The text discusses the concepts of fearlessness in relation to wrongdoing (akusalakamma) and the state of being undaunted by negative actions. It outlines that one should not fear or be startled by the wrongdoings committed, and it speaks to the characteristics of a person who can remain unafraid and undisturbed in the face of wrongdoing. Additionally, it suggests a consideration of various aspects of non-self (anatta) and its nature.
Pali is the language of the Tipiṭaka, which is the sacred canon of Theravāda Buddhism and contains much of the Buddha’s speech. Closeley related to Sanskrit, both languages are used interchangeably between religions.
