Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā uttaro mahisavatthusmiṁ viharati saṅkheyyake pabbate vaṭajālikāyaṁ.
At one time Venerable Uttara was staying on the Saṅkheyyaka Mountain in the Mahisa region near Dhavajālikā.
Tatra kho āyasmā uttaro bhikkhū āmantesi:
There Uttara addressed the mendicants:
“sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ attavipattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti.
“Mendicants, it’s good for a mendicant to check their own failings from time to time.
Sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ paravipattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti.
It’s good for a mendicant to check the failings of others from time to time.
Sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ attasampattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti.
It’s good for a mendicant to check their own successes from time to time.
Sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ parasampattiṁ paccavekkhitā hotī”ti.
It’s good for a mendicant to check the successes of others from time to time.”
Tena kho pana samayena vessavaṇo mahārājā uttarāya disāya dakkhiṇaṁ disaṁ gacchati kenacideva karaṇīyena.
Now at that time the great king Vessavaṇa was on his way from the north to the south on some business.
Assosi kho vessavaṇo mahārājā āyasmato uttarassa mahisavatthusmiṁ saṅkheyyake pabbate vaṭajālikāyaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ evaṁ dhammaṁ desentassa:
He heard Venerable Uttara teaching this to the mendicants on Saṅkheyyaka Mountain.
“sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ attavipattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti.
Sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ paravipattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti.
Sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ attasampattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti.
Sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ parasampattiṁ paccavekkhitā hotī”ti.
Atha kho vessavaṇo mahārājā—seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṁ vā bāhaṁ pasāreyya, pasāritaṁ vā bāhaṁ samiñjeyya; evamevaṁ mahisavatthusmiṁ saṅkheyyake pabbate vaṭajālikāyaṁ antarahito devesu tāvatiṁsesu pāturahosi.
Then Vessavaṇa vanished from Saṅkheyyaka Mountain and appeared among the gods of the thirty-three, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm.
Atha kho vessavaṇo mahārājā yena sakko devānamindo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā sakkaṁ devānamindaṁ etadavoca:
Then he went up to Sakka, lord of gods, and said to him:
“yagghe, mārisa, jāneyyāsi.
“Please good fellow, you should know this.
Eso āyasmā uttaro mahisavatthusmiṁ saṅkheyyake pabbate vaṭajālikāyaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ evaṁ dhammaṁ deseti:
Venerable Uttara is teaching the mendicants on Saṅkheyyaka Mountain in this way:
‘sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ attavipattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti.
‘It’s good for a mendicant from time to time to check their own failings. …
Sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ paravipattiṁ …pe…

Atha kho sakko devānamindo seyyathāpi nāma balavā puriso samiñjitaṁ vā bāhaṁ pasāreyya, pasāritaṁ vā bāhaṁ samiñjeyya; evamevaṁ devesu tāvatiṁsesu antarahito mahisavatthusmiṁ saṅkheyyake pabbate vaṭajālikāyaṁ āyasmato uttarassa sammukhe pāturahosi.
Then, as easily as a strong person would extend or contract their arm, Sakka vanished from the gods of the thirty-three and reappeared on Saṅkheyyaka Mountain in front of Venerable Uttara.
Atha kho sakko devānamindo yenāyasmā uttaro tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ uttaraṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho sakko devānamindo āyasmantaṁ uttaraṁ etadavoca:
Then Sakka went up to Venerable Uttara, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him:
“Saccaṁ kira, bhante, āyasmā uttaro bhikkhūnaṁ evaṁ dhammaṁ desesi:
“Is it really true, sir, that you teach the mendicants in this way:
‘sādhāvuso, bhikkhu kālena kālaṁ attavipattiṁ paccavekkhitā hoti,

“Evaṁ, devānamindā”ti.
“Indeed, lord of gods.”
“Kiṁ panidaṁ, bhante, āyasmato uttarassa sakaṁ paṭibhānaṁ, udāhu tassa bhagavato vacanaṁ arahato sammāsambuddhassā”ti?
“Sir, did this teaching come to you from your own inspiration, or was it spoken by the Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha?”
“Tena hi, devānaminda, upamaṁ te karissāmi.
“Well then, lord of gods, I shall give you a simile.

For by means of a simile some sensible people understand the meaning of what is said.

where they got the grain from, how should that crowd rightly reply?”
“‘Amumhā mahādhaññarāsimhā āharāmā’ti kho, bhante, so mahājanakāyo sammā byākaramāno byākareyyā”ti.
“Sir, they should reply that they took it from the large heap of grain.”
“Evamevaṁ kho, devānaminda, yaṁ kiñci subhāsitaṁ sabbaṁ taṁ tassa bhagavato vacanaṁ arahato sammāsambuddhassa.
“In the same way, lord of gods, whatever is well spoken is spoken by the Blessed One, the perfected one, the fully awakened Buddha.

“Acchariyaṁ, bhante, abbhutaṁ bhante.
“It’s incredible, sir, it’s amazing!
Yāva subhāsitañcidaṁ āyasmatā uttarena:
How well this was said by Venerable Uttara!

At one time, Honorable Uttara, the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain, not long after Devadatta had left.
Tatra kho bhagavā devadattaṁ ārabbha bhikkhū āmantesi:
There the Buddha spoke to the mendicants about Devadatta:
