“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, sekhabalāni.
“Mendicants, there are these five powers of a trainee.
Katamāni pañca?
What five?
Saddhābalaṁ, hirībalaṁ, ottappabalaṁ, vīriyabalaṁ, paññābalaṁ—
The powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom.
imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca sekhabalāni.
These are the five powers of a trainee.
Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ sekhabalānaṁ etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saṅgāhikaṁ etaṁ saṅghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ paññābalaṁ.
Of these five powers of a trainee, the power of wisdom is the chief. It holds and binds everything together.
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, kūṭāgārassa etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saṅgāhikaṁ etaṁ saṅghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ kūṭaṁ.
It’s like a bungalow. The roof-peak is the chief point, which holds and binds everything together.
Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ sekhabalānaṁ etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saṅgāhikaṁ etaṁ saṅghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ paññābalaṁ.
In the same way, of these five powers of a trainee, the power of wisdom is the chief. It holds and binds everything together.
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:
So you should train like this:
‘saddhābalena samannāgatā bhavissāma sekhabalena, hirībalena … ottappabalena … vīriyabalena … paññābalena samannāgatā bhavissāma sekhabalenā’ti.
‘We will have the trainee’s powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom.’
Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban”ti.
That’s how you should train.”
Dutiyaṁ.
