1.0.3Origin story

1.1Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,1.2Tena kho pana samayena hatthako sakyaputto vādakkhitto hoti.Hatthaka the Sakyan was beaten in debate.1.3So titthiyehi saddhiṁ sallapanto avajānitvā paṭijānāti, paṭijānitvā avajānāti, aññenaññaṁ paṭicarati, sampajānamusā bhāsati, saṅketaṁ katvā visaṁvādeti.While talking with the monastics of other religions, he would assert things after denying them, and he would deny things after asserting them. He evaded the issues, lied, and made sham appointments.¹1.4Titthiyā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—“kathañhi nāma hatthako sakyaputto amhehi saddhiṁ sallapanto avajānitvā paṭijānissati, paṭijānitvā avajānissati, aññenaññaṁ paṭicarissati, sampajānamusā bhāsissati, saṅketaṁ katvā visaṁvādessatī”ti.The monastics of other religions complained and criticized him, “When Hatthaka talks with us, how can he assert things after denying them, deny things after asserting them, evade the issues, lie, and make sham appointments?”

1.5PTS 4.2Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tesaṁ titthiyānaṁ ujjhāyantānaṁ khiyyantānaṁ vipācentānaṁ.The monks heard the complaints of those monastics of other religions.1.6Atha kho te bhikkhū yena hatthako sakyaputto tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā hatthakaṁ sakyaputtaṁ etadavocuṁ—They then went to Hatthaka and said,1.7“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, āvuso hatthaka, titthiyehi saddhiṁ sallapanto avajānitvā paṭijānāsi, paṭijānitvā avajānāsi, aññenaññaṁ paṭicarasi, sampajānamusā bhāsasi, saṅketaṁ katvā visaṁvādesī”ti?“Is it true, Hatthaka, that you’re doing this?”

1.8“Ete kho, āvuso, titthiyā nāma yena kenaci jetabbā;“These monastics of other religions should be beaten, whatever it takes!1.9neva tesaṁ jayo dātabbo”ti.They shouldn’t be allowed to win.”

1.10Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,1.11“kathañhi nāma hatthako sakyaputto titthiyehi saddhiṁ sallapanto avajānitvā paṭijānissati, paṭijānitvā avajānissati, aññenaññaṁ paṭicarissati, sampajānamusā bhāsissati, saṅketaṁ katvā visaṁvādessatī”ti.“When Hatthaka talks with the monastics of other religions, how can he assert things after denying them, deny things after asserting them, evade the issues, lie, and make sham appointments?”

1.12Atha kho te bhikkhū hatthakaṁ sakyaputtaṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.After rebuking Hatthaka in many ways, they told the Buddha.1.13Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā hatthakaṁ sakyaputtaṁ paṭipucchi—Soon afterwards the Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Hatthaka:1.14“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, hatthaka, titthiyehi saddhiṁ sallapanto avajānitvā paṭijānāsi, paṭijānitvā avajānāsi, aññenaññaṁ paṭicarasi, sampajānamusā bhāsasi, saṅketaṁ katvā visaṁvādesī”ti?“Is it true, Hatthaka, that you’re doing this?”

1.15“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”

1.16Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked him …1.17kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, titthiyehi saddhiṁ sallapanto avajānitvā paṭijānissasi, paṭijānitvā avajānissasi, aññenaññaṁ paṭicarissasi, sampajānamusā bhāsissasi, saṅketaṁ katvā visaṁvādessasi.“Foolish man, how can you do this?1.18Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …” …1.19evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
