“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, tathāgatassa arakkheyyāni, tīhi ca anupavajjo.

Katamāni cattāri tathāgatassa arakkheyyāni?
What are the four areas where the Realized One has nothing to hide?
Parisuddhakāyasamācāro, bhikkhave, tathāgato;
His bodily behavior is pure.
natthi tathāgatassa kāyaduccaritaṁ yaṁ tathāgato rakkheyya:
So the Realized One has no bodily misconduct to hide, thinking:
‘mā me idaṁ paro aññāsī’ti.
‘Don’t let others find this out about me!’

His verbal behavior is pure.

These are the four areas where the Realized One has nothing to hide.
Katamehi tīhi anupavajjo?
What are the three ways the Realized One is irreproachable?
Svākkhātadhammo, bhikkhave, tathāgato.
The Realized One has explained the teaching well.
Tatra vata maṁ samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā devo vā māro vā brahmā vā koci vā lokasmiṁ sahadhammena paṭicodessati:
I see no reason for anyone—whether ascetic, brahmin, god, Māra, or the Divinity, or anyone else in the world—to legitimately scold me, saying:
‘itipi tvaṁ na svākkhātadhammo’ti.
‘For such and such reasons you haven’t explained the teaching well.’
Nimittametaṁ, bhikkhave, na samanupassāmi.
Etamahaṁ, bhikkhave, nimittaṁ asamanupassanto khemappatto abhayappatto vesārajjappatto viharāmi.
Since I see no such reason, I live secure, fearless, and self-assured.
Supaññattā kho pana me, bhikkhave, sāvakānaṁ nibbānagāminī paṭipadā.
I have clearly described the practice that leads to extinguishment for my disciples.
Yathāpaṭipannā mama sāvakā āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharanti.
Practicing in accordance with this, my disciples realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements.

Anekasatā kho pana me, bhikkhave, sāvakaparisā āsavānaṁ khayā …pe… sacchikatvā upasampajja viharanti.
Many hundreds in my assembly of disciples have realized the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements.

Imehi tīhi anupavajjo.
These are the three ways the Realized One is irreproachable.

These are the four areas where the Realized One has nothing to hide, and the three ways he is irreproachable.”
