Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Tayome, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti. Katame tayo? Idha, bhikkhave, sekho bhikkhu kammārāmo hoti, kammarato, kammārāmatamanuyutto; bhassārāmo hoti, bhassarato, bhassārāmatamanuyutto; niddārāmo hoti, niddārato, niddārāmatamanuyutto. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti.
“These three things lead to the decline of a trainee bhikkhu. What three? Here, a trainee bhikkhu takes pleasure in work, indulges in work, and is habitually engaged in work; he takes pleasure in talk, indulges in talk, and is habitually engaged in talk; he takes pleasure in sleep, indulges in sleep, and is habitually engaged in sleep. These are the three things that lead to the decline of a trainee bhikkhu.
Tayome, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattanti. Katame tayo? Idha, bhikkhave, sekho bhikkhu na kammārāmo hoti, na kammarato, na kammārāmatamanuyutto; na bhassārāmo hoti, na bhassarato, na bhassārāmatamanuyutto; na niddārāmo hoti, na niddārato, na niddārāmatamanuyutto. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattantī”ti.
These three things lead to non-decline of a trainee bhikkhu. What three? Here, a trainee bhikkhu does not take pleasure in work, does not indulge in work, and is not habitually engaged in work; he does not take pleasure in talk, does not indulge in talk, and is not habitually engaged in talk; he does not take pleasure in sleep, does not indulge in sleep, and is not habitually engaged in sleep. These are the three things that lead to the non-decline of a trainee bhikkhu.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Kammārāmo bhassārāmo,
Niddārāmo ca uddhato;
Abhabbo tādiso bhikkhu,
Phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttamaṁ.
“A bhikkhu who takes pleasure in work, in talk,
in sleep, and is restless;
such a one is incapable
of attaining the highest awakening.
Tasmā hi appakiccassa,
Appamiddho anuddhato;
Bhabbo so tādiso bhikkhu,
Phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttaman”ti.
Therefore, let him have few obligations,
be free from drowsiness, and unagitated;
such a bhikkhu is capable
of attaining the highest awakening.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
