		<description><![CDATA[Hello, sorry for the long break in posting dhammapada verses.  We pick up from before with verse 31.
Verse 31:
appamādarato pamāde bhayadassi vā bhikkhu aṇuṃ thulaṃ saññojanaṃ aggī iva dahaṃ gacchati
A bhikkhu who takes delight in mindfulness and sees danger in negligence, advances like fire, burning up all fetters, great and small.
