“तीहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो बालो वेदितब्बो। कतमेहि तीहि? अच्चयं अच्चयतो न पस्सति, अच्चयं अच्चयतो दिस्वा यथाधम्मं नप्पटिकरोति, परस्स खो पन अच्चयं देसेन्तस्स यथाधम्मं नप्पटिग्गण्हाति।
“Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bālo veditabbo. Katamehi tīhi? Accayaṁ accayato na passati, accayaṁ accayato disvā yathādhammaṁ nappaṭikaroti, parassa kho pana accayaṁ desentassa yathādhammaṁ nappaṭiggaṇhāti.
“A fool is known by three things. What three? They don’t recognize when they’ve made a mistake. When they do recognize it they don’t deal with it properly. And when someone else confesses a mistake to them, they don’t accept it properly.
इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, तीहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो बालो वेदितब्बो।
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato bālo veditabbo.
These are the three things by which a fool is known.
तीहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो पण्डितो वेदितब्बो। कतमेहि तीहि? अच्चयं अच्चयतो पस्सति, अच्चयं अच्चयतो दिस्वा यथाधम्मं पटिकरोति, परस्स खो पन अच्चयं देसेन्तस्स यथाधम्मं पटिग्गण्हाति।
Tīhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato paṇḍito veditabbo. Katamehi tīhi? Accayaṁ accayato passati, accayaṁ accayato disvā yathādhammaṁ paṭikaroti, parassa kho pana accayaṁ desentassa yathādhammaṁ paṭiggaṇhāti.
An astute person is known by three things. What three? They recognize when they’ve made a mistake. When they recognize it they deal with it properly. And when someone else confesses a mistake to them, they accept it properly.
इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, तीहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो पण्डितो वेदितब्बो। तस्मातिह …पे…।
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, tīhi dhammehi samannāgato paṇḍito veditabbo. Tasmātiha …pe….
