1.1PTS 3.35Sāvatthinidānaṁ.At Sāvatthī.

1.2Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,1.3“sādhu me, bhante, bhagavā saṅkhittena dhammaṁ desetu;“Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.”¹1.4yamahaṁ bhagavato dhammaṁ sutvā eko vūpakaṭṭho, appamatto ātāpī pahitatto vihareyyan”ti.

1.5“Yaṁ kho, bhikkhu, anuseti, tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati;“Mendicant, you’re reckoned by what you have an underlying tendency for.²1.6yaṁ nānuseti, na tena saṅkhaṁ gacchatī”ti.You’re not reckoned by what you have no underlying tendency for.”

1.7“Aññātaṁ, bhagavā, aññātaṁ, sugatā”ti.“Understood, Blessed One! Understood, Holy One!”

2.1“Yathā kathaṁ pana tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāsī”ti?“But how do you see the detailed meaning of my brief statement?”

2.2“Rūpañce, bhante, anuseti tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.“If you have an underlying tendency for form, you’re reckoned by that.2.3Vedanañce anuseti tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.If you have an underlying tendency for feeling …2.4Saññañce anuseti tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.perception …2.5Saṅkhāre ce anuseti tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.choices …2.6Viññāṇañce anuseti tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.consciousness, you’re reckoned by that.

2.7Rūpañce, bhante, nānuseti na tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.If you have no underlying tendency for form, you’re not reckoned by that.2.8Vedanañce …If you have no underlying tendency for feeling …2.9saññañce …perception …2.10saṅkhāre ce …choices …2.11viññāṇañce nānuseti na tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.consciousness, you’re not reckoned by that.

2.12Imassa khvāhaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa evaṁ vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāmī”ti.That’s how I understand the detailed meaning of the Buddha’s brief statement.”

3.1“Sādhu sādhu, bhikkhu.“Good, good, mendicant!3.2Sādhu kho tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāsi.It’s good that you understand the detailed meaning of what I’ve said in brief like this.

3.3Rūpañce, bhikkhu, anuseti tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.If you have an underlying tendency for form, you’re reckoned by that.3.4Vedanañce …If you have an underlying tendency for feeling …3.5saññañce …perception …3.6saṅkhāre ce …choices …3.7viññāṇañce anuseti tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.consciousness, you’re reckoned by that.

3.8Rūpañce, bhikkhu, nānuseti na tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.If you have no underlying tendency for form, you’re not reckoned by that.3.9Vedanañce …If you have no underlying tendency for feeling …3.10saññañce …perception …3.11saṅkhāre ce …choices …3.12viññāṇañce nānuseti na tena saṅkhaṁ gacchati.consciousness, you’re not reckoned by that.

3.13Imassa kho, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena, bhāsitassa evaṁ vitthārena attho daṭṭhabbo”ti.This is how to see the detailed meaning of what I said in brief.”

4.1PTS 3.36Atha kho so bhikkhu bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinanditvā anumoditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.And then that mendicant approved and agreed with what the Buddha said. He got up from his seat, bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.

5.1Atha kho so bhikkhu eko vūpakaṭṭho appamatto ātāpī pahitatto viharanto nacirasseva—yassatthāya kulaputtā sammadeva agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraṁ—brahmacariyapariyosānaṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja vihāsi.Then that mendicant, living alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute, soon realized the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.

5.2“Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi.He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is nothing further for this place.”5.3Aññataro ca pana so bhikkhu arahataṁ ahosīti.And that mendicant became one of the perfected.

5.4Tatiyaṁ.
