Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Nayidaṁ, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṁ vussati janakuhanatthaṁ, na janalapanatthaṁ, na lābhasakkārasilokānisaṁsatthaṁ, na ‘iti maṁ jano jānātū’ti.
Atha kho idaṁ, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṁ vussati abhiññatthañceva pariññatthañcā”ti.
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.
Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Abhiññatthaṁ pariññatthaṁ,
brahmacariyaṁ anītihaṁ;
Adesayi so bhagavā,
nibbānogadhagāminaṁ.

Esa maggo mahattehi,
anuyāto mahesibhi;
Ye ye taṁ paṭipajjanti,
yathā buddhena desitaṁ;
Dukkhassantaṁ karissanti,
satthusāsanakārino”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
Navamaṁ.
