SN.1.7. Appaṭividitasutta ("Not Comprehending")

Saṁyutta Nikāya ("The Linked Discourses")

At Sāvatthī.

Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:

“Those who don’t comprehend the teachings,
who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;
asleep, they have not woken up:
it is time for them to wake!”

“Those who clearly comprehend the teachings,
who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;
they’ve woken up, they rightly know,
they live smoothly in the rough.”
