Atha kho anāthapiṇḍiko gahapati pañcamattehi upāsakasatehi parivuto yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho anāthapiṇḍikaṁ gahapatiṁ bhagavā etadavoca:
Then the householder Anāthapiṇḍika, escorted by around five hundred lay followers, went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:
“Tumhe kho, gahapati, bhikkhusaṅghaṁ paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārena.
“Householders, you have supplied the mendicant Saṅgha with robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick.
Na kho, gahapati, tāvatakeneva tuṭṭhi karaṇīyā:
But you should not be content with just this much.
‘mayaṁ bhikkhusaṅghaṁ paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārenā’ti.
Tasmātiha, gahapati, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:
So you should train like this:
‘kinti mayaṁ kālena kālaṁ pavivekaṁ pītiṁ upasampajja vihareyyāmā’ti.
‘How can we, from time to time, enter and dwell in the rapture of seclusion?’
Evañhi vo, gahapati, sikkhitabban”ti.
That’s how you should train.”
Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā sāriputto bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
When he said this, Venerable Sāriputta said to the Buddha,
“acchariyaṁ, bhante, abbhutaṁ, bhante.
“It’s incredible, sir, it’s amazing!
Yāva subhāsitañcidaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā:
How well said this was by the Buddha:
‘tumhe kho, gahapati, bhikkhusaṅghaṁ paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārena.
‘Householders, you have supplied the mendicant Saṅgha with robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick.
