Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Awakened One, as I have heard:
“Kalyāṇasīlo, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇadhammo kalyāṇapañño imasmiṁ dhammavinaye ‘kevalī vusitavā uttamapuriso’ti vuccati—
“In this Dhamma and Vinaya, a bhikkhu who is of virtuous conduct, endowed with noble qualities, and possessed of excellent wisdom is called a perfected one, one who has fulfilled one’s training, the best of men.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇasīlo hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sīlavā hoti, pātimokkhasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati, ācāragocarasampanno aṇumattesu vajjesu bhayadassāvī, samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇasīlo hoti. Iti kalyāṇasīlo.
And how is a bhikkhu one of virtuous conduct? Here, a bhikkhu is virtuous, dwells restrained with the restraint of the moral code of conduct, who knows how to behave and keep to suitable places, who sees danger even in the slightest fault, and undertakes the training by practicing the training rules. This is how a bhikkhu is one of virtuous conduct.
Kalyāṇadhammo ca kathaṁ hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sattannaṁ bodhipakkhiyānaṁ dhammānaṁ bhāvanānuyogamanuyutto viharati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇadhammo hoti. Iti kalyāṇasīlo, kalyāṇadhammo.
And how is he noble in qualities? Here, the bhikkhu dwells devoted to the cultivation of the seven sets of qualities that lead to awakening. This is how a bhikkhu is noble in qualities.
Kalyāṇapañño ca kathaṁ hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kalyāṇapañño hoti.
And how is he possessed of excellent wisdom? Here, with the wearing away of the taints, the bhikkhu dwells having personally realized, in this very life, the taintless liberation of mind and the liberation by wisdom, and having attained it, abides in it. This is how a bhikkhu is possessed of excellent wisdom.
Iti kalyāṇasīlo kalyāṇadhammo kalyāṇapañño imasmiṁ dhammavinaye ‘kevalī vusitavā uttamapuriso’ti vuccatī”ti.
This is how a bhikkhu is of virtuous conduct, endowed with noble qualities, and possessed of excellent wisdom, who is called a perfected one, one who has fulfilled one’s training, the best of men in this Dhamma and Vinaya.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
The Blessed One spoke on this matter. In this regard, it is said:
“Yassa kāyena vācāya,
manasā natthi dukkaṭaṁ;
Taṁ ve kalyāṇasīloti,
āhu bhikkhuṁ hirīmanaṁ.
“One whose actions by body, speech,
and mind are free from any wrongdoing;
that one, they say, is of virtuous conduct,
a bhikkhu endowed with conscience.
Yassa dhammā subhāvitā,
satta sambodhigāmino;
Taṁ ve kalyāṇadhammoti,
āhu bhikkhuṁ anussadaṁ.
In whom the seven sets of qualities
leading to awakening are well-cultivated;
that one, they say, is noble in qualities,
a bhikkhu who is not arrogant.
Yo dukkhassa pajānāti,
idheva khayamattano;
Taṁ ve kalyāṇapaññoti,
āhu bhikkhuṁ anāsavaṁ.
One who clearly discerns
the cessation of suffering in the here and now;
that one, they say, is possessed of excellent wisdom,
a bhikkhu who is free from the taints.
Tehi dhammehi sampannaṁ,
anīghaṁ chinnasaṁsayaṁ;
Asitaṁ sabbalokassa,
āhu sabbapahāyinan”ti.
Endowed with these qualities,
untroubled and free from doubt;
not bound by anything in the world,
they call him one who has abandoned all.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
This matter too was spoken by the Blessed One, as I have heard.
