अथ खो अञ्ञतरो ब्राह्मणो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवता सद्धिं सम्मोदि …पे… एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो सो ब्राह्मणो भगवन्तं एतदवोच:

Then a brahmin went up to the Buddha, and exchanged greetings with him. Seated to one side he said to the Buddha:
“‘सन्दिट्ठिको धम्मो सन्दिट्ठिको धम्मोऽति, भो गोतम, वुच्चति। कित्तावता नु खो, भो गोतम, सन्दिट्ठिको धम्मो होति अकालिको एहिपस्सिको ओपनेय्यिको पच्चत्तं वेदितब्बो विञ्ञूही”ति?
“‘sandiṭṭhiko dhammo sandiṭṭhiko dhammo’ti, bho gotama, vuccati. Kittāvatā nu kho, bho gotama, sandiṭṭhiko dhammo hoti akāliko ehipassiko opaneyyiko1 paccattaṁ veditabbo viññūhī”ti?
“Master Gotama, they speak of ‘a teaching apparent in the present life’. In what way is the teaching apparent in the present life, immediately effective, inviting inspection, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves?”
“रत्तो खो, ब्राह्मण, रागेन अभिभूतो परियादिन्नचित्तो अत्तब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, परब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, उभयब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, चेतसिकम्पि दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। रागे पहीने नेवत्तब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न परब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न उभयब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न चेतसिकं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। रत्तो खो …पे… कायेन दुच्चरितं चरति, वाचाय दुच्चरितं चरति, मनसा दुच्चरितं चरति। रागे पहीने नेव कायेन दुच्चरितं चरति, न वाचाय दुच्चरितं चरति, न मनसा दुच्चरितं चरति। रत्तो खो …पे… अत्तत्थम्पि यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति, परत्थम्पि यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति, उभयत्थम्पि यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति। रागे पहीने अत्तत्थम्पि यथाभूतं पजानाति, परत्थम्पि यथाभूतं पजानाति, उभयत्थम्पि यथाभूतं पजानाति। एवम्पि खो, ब्राह्मण, सन्दिट्ठिको धम्मो होति …पे…।
“Ratto kho, brāhmaṇa, rāgena abhibhūto pariyādinnacitto attabyābādhāyapi ceteti, parabyābādhāyapi ceteti, ubhayabyābādhāyapi ceteti, cetasikampi dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti.

“A greedy person, overcome and overwhelmed by greed, intends to hurt themselves, hurt others, and hurt both. They experience mental pain and sadness. When greed has been given up, they don’t intend to hurt themselves, hurt others, and hurt both. They don’t experience mental pain and sadness. This is how the teaching is apparent in the present life, immediately effective, inviting inspection, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves.
दुट्ठो खो, ब्राह्मण, दोसेन अभिभूतो परियादिन्नचित्तो अत्तब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, परब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, उभयब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, चेतसिकम्पि दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। दोसे पहीने नेवत्तब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न परब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न उभयब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न चेतसिकम्पि दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। एवम्पि खो, ब्राह्मण, सन्दिट्ठिको धम्मो होति …पे…।

A hateful person, overcome by hate, intends to hurt themselves, hurt others, and hurt both. They experience mental pain and sadness. When hate has been given up, they don’t intend to hurt themselves, hurt others, and hurt both. They don’t experience mental pain and sadness. This, too, is how the teaching is apparent in the present life, immediately effective, inviting inspection, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves.
मूळ्हो खो, ब्राह्मण, मोहेन अभिभूतो परियादिन्नचित्तो अत्तब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, परब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, उभयब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, चेतसिकम्पि दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। मोहे पहीने नेवत्तब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न परब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न उभयब्याबाधायपि चेतेति, न चेतसिकं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। एवं खो, ब्राह्मण, सन्दिट्ठिको धम्मो होति अकालिको एहिपस्सिको ओपनेय्यिको पच्चत्तं वेदितब्बो विञ्ञूही”ति।
Mūḷho kho, brāhmaṇa, mohena abhibhūto pariyādinnacitto attabyābādhāyapi ceteti, parabyābādhāyapi ceteti, ubhayabyābādhāyapi ceteti, cetasikampi dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti.

A deluded person, overcome by delusion, intends to hurt themselves, hurt others, and hurt both. They experience mental pain and sadness. When delusion has been given up, they don’t intend to hurt themselves, hurt others, and hurt both. They don’t experience mental pain and sadness. This, too, is how the teaching is apparent in the present life, immediately effective, inviting inspection, relevant, so that sensible people can know it for themselves.”
“अभिक्कन्तं, भो गोतम, अभिक्कन्तं, भो गोतम। सेय्यथापि, भो गोतम, निक्कुज्जितं वा उक्कुज्जेय्य, पटिच्छन्नं वा विवरेय्य, मूळ्हस्स वा मग्गं आचिक्खेय्य, अन्धकारे वा तेलपज्जोतं धारेय्य: ‘चक्खुमन्तो रूपानि दक्खन्तीऽति; एवमेवं भोता गोतमेन अनेकपरियायेन धम्मो पकासितो। एसाहं भवन्तं गोतमं सरणं गच्छामि धम्मञ्च भिक्खुसङ्घञ्च। उपासकं मं भवं गोतमो धारेतु अज्जतग्गे पाणुपेतं सरणं गतन्”ति।
“Abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama. Seyyathāpi, bho gotama, nikkujjitaṁ vā ukkujjeyya, paṭicchannaṁ vā vivareyya, mūḷhassa vā maggaṁ ācikkheyya, andhakāre vā telapajjotaṁ dhāreyya: ‘cakkhumanto rūpāni dakkhantī’ti; evamevaṁ bhotā gotamena anekapariyāyena dhammo pakāsito. Esāhaṁ bhavantaṁ gotamaṁ saraṇaṁ gacchāmi dhammañca bhikkhusaṅghañca. Upāsakaṁ maṁ bhavaṁ gotamo dhāretu ajjatagge pāṇupetaṁ saraṇaṁ gatan”ti.
“Excellent, Master Gotama! Excellent! As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with clear eyes can see what’s there, Master Gotama has made the teaching clear in many ways. I go for refuge to Master Gotama, to the teaching, and to the bhikkhu Saṅgha. From this day forth, may Master Gotama remember me as a lay follower who has gone for refuge for life.”
