0.46. KuṭikārasikkhāpadaBuilding a hut inappropriately

1.1.0Origin story

1.1.1PTS 3.145Tena samayena buddho bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe.At one time the Buddha was staying at Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrel sanctuary.1.1.2Tena kho pana samayena āḷavakā bhikkhū saññācikāyo kuṭiyo kārāpenti assāmikāyo attuddesikāyo appamāṇikāyo.At that time the monks of Āḷavī were building huts by means of begging. The huts were intended for themselves, did not have a sponsoring owner, and were inappropriately large.1.1.3Tāyo na niṭṭhānaṁ gacchanti.And since they were never finished,1.1.4Te yācanabahulā viññattibahulā viharanti—the monks kept on begging and asking,1.1.5“purisaṁ detha, purisatthakaraṁ detha, goṇaṁ detha, sakaṭaṁ detha, vāsiṁ detha, parasuṁ detha, kuṭhāriṁ detha, kudālaṁ detha, nikhādanaṁ detha, valliṁ detha, veḷuṁ detha, muñjaṁ detha, pabbajaṁ detha, tiṇaṁ detha, mattikaṁ dethā”ti.“Please give a man, a servant, an ox, a cart, a machete, a hatchet, an ax, a spade, a chisel; give creepers, bamboo, reed, grass, clay.”¹1.1.6Manussā upaddutā yācanāya upaddutā viññattiyā bhikkhū disvā ubbijjantipi uttasantipi palāyantipi aññenapi gacchanti aññenapi mukhaṁ karonti dvārampi thakenti,People felt oppressed by all the begging and asking, so much so that when they saw a monk they became alarmed and fearful. They turned away, took a different path, ran off, and closed their doors.1.1.7gāvimpi disvā palāyanti bhikkhūti maññamānā.They even ran away when they saw cows, thinking they were monks.

1.1.8Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo rājagahe vassaṁvuṭṭho yena āḷavī tena pakkāmi.Just then Venerable Mahākassapa, after completing the rainy-season residence at Rājagaha, set out for Āḷavī.1.1.9Anupubbena yena āḷavī tadavasari.When he eventually arrived,1.1.10Tatra sudaṁ āyasmā mahākassapo āḷaviyaṁ viharati aggāḷave cetiye.he stayed at the Aggāḷava Shrine.1.1.11Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya āḷaviṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.One morning he robed up, took his bowl and robe, and entered Āḷavī for alms.1.1.12Manussā āyasmantaṁ mahākassapaṁ passitvā ubbijjantipi uttasantipi palāyantipi aññenapi gacchanti aññenapi mukhaṁ karonti dvārampi thakenti.When people saw him, they became alarmed and fearful. They turned away, took a different path, ran off, and closed their doors.1.1.13Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo āḷaviyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto bhikkhū āmantesi—Then, when Venerable Mahākassapa had eaten his meal and returned from almsround, he said to the monks:

1.1.14“pubbāyaṁ, āvuso, āḷavī subhikkhā ahosi sulabhapiṇḍā sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ;“There used to be plenty of almsfood in Āḷavī, and it was easy to get by on alms.1.1.15etarahi panāyaṁ āḷavī dubbhikkhā dullabhapiṇḍā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetuṁ.But now there’s a shortage, and it’s hard to get by.1.1.16Ko nu kho, āvuso, hetu ko paccayo, yenāyaṁ āḷavī dubbhikkhā dullabhapiṇḍā, na sukarā uñchena paggahena yāpetun”ti?Why is that?”1.1.17Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmato mahākassapassa etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.The monks told Venerable Mahākassapa what had happened.

1.2.1Atha kho bhagavā rājagahe yathābhirantaṁ viharitvā yena āḷavī tena cārikaṁ pakkāmi.Soon afterwards the Buddha too set out wandering toward Āḷavī after staying at Rājagaha for as long as he liked.1.2.2Anupubbena cārikaṁ caramāno yena āḷavī tadavasari.When he eventually arrived,1.2.3Tatra sudaṁ bhagavā āḷaviyaṁ viharati aggāḷave cetiye.he too stayed at the Aggāḷava Shrine.

1.2.4Atha kho āyasmā mahākassapo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.Venerable Mahākassapa then went to see the Buddha, bowed, sat down,1.2.5Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā mahākassapo bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesi.and told him what had happened.

1.2.6Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āḷavake bhikkhū paṭipucchi—The Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned the monks of Āḷavī:1.2.7“saccaṁ kira tumhe, bhikkhave, saññācikāyo kuṭiyo kārāpetha assāmikāyo attuddesikāyo appamāṇikāyo.“Is it true, monks, that this is happening?”1.2.8Tāyo na niṭṭhānaṁ gacchanti.1.2.9Te tumhe yācanabahulā viññattibahulā viharatha—1.2.10‘purisaṁ detha purisatthakaraṁ detha …pe… tiṇaṁ detha mattikaṁ dethā’ti.1.2.11Manussā upaddutā yācanāya upaddutā viññattiyā bhikkhū disvā ubbijjantipi uttasantipi palāyantipi aññenapi gacchanti aññenapi mukhaṁ karonti dvārampi thakenti, gāvimpi disvā palāyanti bhikkhūti maññamānā”ti?

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

1.2.13Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked them …1.2.14kathañhi nāma tumhe, moghapurisā, saṁyācikāyo kuṭiyo kārāpessatha assāmikāyo attuddesikāyo appamāṇikāyo.“Foolish men, how can you act like this?1.2.15Tāyo na niṭṭhānaṁ gacchanti.1.2.16Te tumhe yācanabahulā viññattibahulā viharissatha—1.2.17“purisaṁ detha purisatthakaraṁ detha …pe… tiṇaṁ detha mattikaṁ dethā”ti.1.2.18Netaṁ moghapurisā, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…This will affect people’s confidence …”1.2.19vigarahitvā dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—After rebuking them, he gave a teaching and addressed the monks:

1.3.0Jātaka

1.3.1PTS 3.146“Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, dve bhātaro isayo gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ upanissāya vihariṁsu.“Once upon a time, monks, two sages who were brothers lived near the river Ganges.²1.3.2Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yena kaniṭṭho isi tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ sattakkhattuṁ bhogehi parikkhipitvā uparimuddhani mahantaṁ phaṇaṁ karitvā aṭṭhāsi.On one occasion the dragon king Maṇikaṇṭha emerged from the Ganges and went up to the younger sage. He encircled him with seven coils and spread his large hood over his head.1.3.3Atha kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi tassa nāgassa bhayā kiso ahosi lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto.Then, because of his fear of that dragon, the younger sage became thin, haggard, and pale, with veins protruding all over his body.1.3.4Addasa kho, bhikkhave, jeṭṭho isi kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ kisaṁ lūkhaṁ dubbaṇṇaṁ uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajātaṁ dhamanisanthatagattaṁ.The older sage saw him like this1.3.5Disvāna kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ etadavoca—and asked him what was the matter.1.3.6‘kissa tvaṁ, bho, kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti?1.3.7‘Idha, bho, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yenāhaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā maṁ sattakkhattuṁ bhogehi parikkhipitvā uparimuddhani mahantaṁ phaṇaṁ karitvā aṭṭhāsi.The younger sage told him.1.3.8Tassāhaṁ, bho, nāgassa bhayā kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti.1.3.9‘Icchasi pana tvaṁ, bho, tassa nāgassa anāgamanan’ti?The elder sage said, ‘So, do you want that dragon to stay away?’

1.3.10‘Icchāmahaṁ, bho, tassa nāgassa anāgamanan’ti.‘Yes.’

1.3.11‘Api pana tvaṁ, bho, tassa nāgassa kiñci passasī’ti?‘Well then, did you see anything belonging to that dragon?’

1.3.12‘Passāmahaṁ, bho, maṇimassa kaṇṭhe pilandhanan’ti.‘I saw an ornamental gem on his neck.’

1.3.13‘Tena hi tvaṁ, bho, taṁ nāgaṁ maṇiṁ yāca—‘In that case, ask the dragon for that gem.’1.3.14“maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;1.3.15maṇinā me attho”’ti.

1.3.16Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yena kaniṭṭho isi tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi.Soon the dragon king again emerged from the Ganges and went up to the younger sage.1.3.17Ekamantaṁ ṭhitaṁ kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ kaniṭṭho isi etadavoca—And the sage said to him,1.3.18‘maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;‘Sir, give me the gem.1.3.19maṇinā me attho’ti.I want the gem.’1.3.20Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā—The dragon thought,1.3.21‘bhikkhu maṇiṁ yācati, bhikkhussa maṇinā attho’ti khippaññeva agamāsi.‘The monk is asking for the gem; he wants the gem,’ and he left in a hurry.

1.3.22Dutiyampi kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttaritvā yena kaniṭṭho isi tenupasaṅkami.Once more the dragon king emerged from the Ganges and approached the younger sage.1.3.23Addasa kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ dūratova āgacchantaṁ.The sage saw him coming1.3.24Disvāna maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ etadavoca—and said to him,1.3.25‘maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;‘Sir, give me the gem.1.3.26maṇinā me attho’ti.I want the gem.’1.3.27Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā—When the dragon heard him,1.3.28‘bhikkhu maṇiṁ yācati, bhikkhussa maṇinā attho’ti tatova paṭinivatti.he turned around right there.

1.3.29Tatiyampi kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttarati.Yet again the dragon king emerged from the Ganges.1.3.30Addasa kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ gaṅgaṁ nadiṁ uttarantaṁ.The younger sage saw him emerging1.3.31Disvāna maṇikaṇṭhaṁ nāgarājānaṁ etadavoca—and said to him,1.3.32‘maṇiṁ me, bho, dehi;‘Sir, give me the gem.1.3.33maṇinā me attho’ti.I want the gem.’1.3.34Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi—The dragon king then spoke these verses to the sage:

1.3.35PTS 3.147‘Mamannapānaṁ vipulaṁ uḷāraṁ,‘My food and drink are abundant and sublime,1.3.36Uppajjatīmassa maṇissa hetu;And they appear because of this gem.1.3.37Taṁ te na dassaṁ atiyācakosi,I won’t give it to you—you ask too much—1.3.38Na cāpi te assamamāgamissaṁ.Nor will I return to your hermitage.
1.3.39Susū yathā sakkharadhotapāṇī,Like a youth holding a sword polished on a rock,³1.3.40Tāsesi maṁ selamāyācamāno;You frighten me, asking for this gem.⁴1.3.41Taṁ te na dassaṁ atiyācakosi,I won’t give it to you—you ask too much—1.3.42Na cāpi te assamamāgamissan’ti.Nor will I return to your hermitage.’

1.3.43Atha kho, bhikkhave, maṇikaṇṭho nāgarājā—And the dragon king Maṇikaṇṭha thought,1.3.44‘bhikkhu maṇiṁ yācati, bhikkhussa maṇinā attho’ti pakkāmi.‘The monk is asking for the gem; he wants the gem,’1.3.45Tathā pakkantova ahosi, na puna paccāgañchi.and he left and never returned.

1.3.46Atha kho, bhikkhave, kaniṭṭho isi tassa nāgassa dassanīyassa adassanena bhiyyoso mattāya kiso ahosi lūkho dubbaṇṇo, uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto.Because he did not get to see that beautiful dragon, the young sage became even thinner, more haggard and pale, his veins protruding even more.1.3.47Addasa kho, bhikkhave, jeṭṭho isi kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ bhiyyoso mattāya kisaṁ lūkhaṁ dubbaṇṇaṁ uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajātaṁ dhamanisanthatagattaṁ.The older sage saw him like this1.3.48Disvāna kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ etadavoca—and asked what was the matter.1.3.49‘kissa tvaṁ, bho, bhiyyoso mattāya kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti?1.3.50‘Tassāhaṁ, bho, nāgassa dassanīyassa adassanena bhiyyoso mattāya kiso lūkho dubbaṇṇo uppaṇḍuppaṇḍukajāto dhamanisanthatagatto’ti.He replied, ‘It’s because I no longer get to see that beautiful dragon.’1.3.51Atha kho, bhikkhave, jeṭṭho isi kaniṭṭhaṁ isiṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi—The older sage then spoke to him in verse:

1.3.52‘Na taṁ yāce yassapiyaṁ jigīse,‘One shouldn’t beg <j>from those one wishes to be dear to;1.3.53Videsso hoti atiyācanāya;One is detested for asking for too much.1.3.54Nāgo maṇiṁ yācito brāhmaṇena,When the brahmin asked the dragon for his gem,1.3.55Adassanaññeva tadajjhagamā’ti.It left and was never to be seen again.’

1.3.56Tesañhi nāma, bhikkhave, tiracchānagatānaṁ pāṇānaṁ amanāpā bhavissati yācanā amanāpā viññatti.One will be disliked even by animals, monks, for begging and asking,1.3.57Kimaṅgaṁ pana manussabhūtānaṁ.let alone by human beings.”

1.4.1PTS 3.148Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, aññataro bhikkhu himavantapasse viharati aññatarasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe.“At one time, monks, a certain monk lived in a forest grove on the slopes of the Himalayas.⁵1.4.2Tassa kho, bhikkhave, vanasaṇḍassa avidūre mahantaṁ ninnaṁ pallalaṁ.Not far from that grove was a large, low-lying marsh.1.4.3Atha kho, bhikkhave, mahāsakuṇasaṅgho tasmiṁ pallale divasaṁ gocaraṁ caritvā sāyaṁ taṁ vanasaṇḍaṁ vāsāya upagacchati.A great flock of birds fed in the marsh during the day and entered the grove to roost at night.1.4.4Atha kho, bhikkhave, so bhikkhu tassa sakuṇasaṅghassa saddena ubbāḷho yenāhaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā maṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.The monk was disturbed by the noise of the flocking birds, and so he came to see me. He bowed, sat down,1.4.5Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho ahaṁ, bhikkhave, taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca—and I said to him,1.4.6‘kacci, bhikkhu, khamanīyaṁ kacci yāpanīyaṁ‘I hope you’re keeping well, monk, I hope you’re getting by?1.4.7kaccisi appakilamathena addhānaṁ āgato?I hope you’re not tired from traveling? 1.4.8Kuto ca tvaṁ, bhikkhu, āgacchasī’ti?And where have you come from?’

1.4.9‘Khamanīyaṁ, bhagavā, yāpanīyaṁ, bhagavā.‘I’m keeping well, sir, I’m getting by.1.4.10Appakilamathena cāhaṁ, bhante, addhānaṁ āgato.I’m not tired from traveling.’1.4.11Atthi, bhante, himavantapasse mahāvanasaṇḍo.He then explained where he had come from, adding,1.4.12Tassa kho pana, bhante, vanasaṇḍassa avidūre mahantaṁ ninnaṁ pallalaṁ.1.4.13Atha kho, bhante, mahāsakuṇasaṅgho tasmiṁ pallale divasaṁ gocaraṁ caritvā sāyaṁ taṁ vanasaṇḍaṁ vāsāya upagacchati.1.4.14Tato ahaṁ, bhagavā, āgacchāmi—‘That’s where I’ve come from, sir.1.4.15tassa sakuṇasaṅghassa saddena ubbāḷho’ti.I left because I was disturbed by the noise of that flock of birds.’

1.4.16‘Icchasi pana tvaṁ, bhikkhu, tassa sakuṇasaṅghassa anāgamanan’ti?‘Do you want that flock of birds to stay away?’

1.4.17‘Icchāmahaṁ, bhagavā, tassa sakuṇasaṅghassa anāgamanan’ti.‘Yes, sir.’

1.4.18‘Tena hi tvaṁ, bhikkhu, tattha gantvā taṁ vanasaṇḍaṁ ajjhogāhetvā rattiyā paṭhamaṁ yāmaṁ tikkhattuṁ saddamanussāvehi—‘Well then, go back to that forest grove.

1.5.1Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, raṭṭhapālassa kulaputtassa pitā raṭṭhapālaṁ kulaputtaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi—“Raṭṭhapāla’s father, monks, once spoke to his son with this verse:⁶

1.5.2‘Apāhaṁ te na jānāmi,‘All these people, Raṭṭhāpāla,1.5.3raṭṭhapāla bahū janā;Who come to me and beg—1.5.4Te maṁ saṅgamma yācanti,I don’t even know them.1.5.5kasmā maṁ tvaṁ na yācasī’ti.So why don’t <em>you</em> beg from me?’
