Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard.
“Tayome, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti. Katame tayo? Idha, bhikkhave, sekho bhikkhu kammārāmo hoti, kammarato, kammārāmatamanuyutto; bhassārāmo hoti, bhassarato, bhassārāmatamanuyutto; niddārāmo hoti, niddārato, niddārāmatamanuyutto. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno parihānāya saṁvattanti.
“These three things lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee. What three? It’s when a mendicant relishes work, talk, and sleep. These three things lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee.
Tayome, bhikkhave, dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattanti. Katame tayo? Idha, bhikkhave, sekho bhikkhu na kammārāmo hoti, na kammarato, na kammārāmatamanuyutto; na bhassārāmo hoti, na bhassarato, na bhassārāmatamanuyutto; na niddārāmo hoti, na niddārato, na niddārāmatamanuyutto. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo dhammā sekhassa bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattantī”ti. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
These three things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee. What three? It’s when a mendicant doesn’t relish work, talk, and sleep. These three things don’t lead to the decline of a mendicant trainee.” The Buddha spoke this matter. On this it is said:
“Kammārāmo bhassārāmo, Niddārāmo ca uddhato; Abhabbo tādiso bhikkhu, Phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttamaṁ.
“Restless, they relish work, talk, and sleep. Such a mendicant is incapable of experiencing the highest awakening.
Tasmā hi appakiccassa, Appamiddho anuddhato; Bhabbo so tādiso bhikkhu, Phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttaman”ti.
That’s why one ought have few duties, being wakeful not restless. Such a mendicant is capable of experiencing the highest awakening.”
Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Dasamaṁ. Tatiyo vaggo.
This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard.
Tassuddānaṁ Dve diṭṭhī nissaraṇaṁ rūpaṁ, putto avuṭṭhikena ca; Sukhā ca bhiduro dhātu, parihānena te dasāti.
