Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Dvīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu diṭṭheva dhamme sukhasomanassabahulo viharati, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāya. Katamehi dvīhi? Saṁvejanīyesu ṭhānesu saṁvejanena, saṁviggassa ca yoniso padhānena. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, dvīhi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu diṭṭheva dhamme sukhasomanassabahulo viharati, yoni cassa āraddhā hoti āsavānaṁ khayāyā”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Mendicants, when a mendicant has two qualities they’re full of joy and happiness in this very life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements. What two? Being inspired at inspiring places, and making a suitable effort when inspired. When a mendicant possesses these two qualities they’re full of joy and happiness in this very life, and they have laid the groundwork for ending the defilements.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“Saṁvejanīyaṭṭhānesu, saṁvijjetheva paṇḍito; Ātāpī nipako bhikkhu, paññāya samavekkhiya.
“At inspiring places an astute person should be inspired; a keen and alert mendicant should examine with wisdom.
Evaṁ vihārī ātāpī, santavutti anuddhato; Cetosamathamanuyutto, khayaṁ dukkhassa pāpuṇe”ti.
A mendicant living like this, with keen energy, peaceful not restless, devoted to serenity of heart, attains the ending of suffering.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Dasamaṁ. Paṭhamo vaggo.
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
Tassuddānaṁ Dve ca bhikkhū tapanīyā, tapanīyā paratthehi; Ātāpī nakuhanā dve, somanassena te dasāti.
