Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako tathāgataṁ anussarati: ‘itipi so bhagavā …pe… satthā devamanussānaṁ buddho bhagavā’ti.

Firstly, a noble disciple recollects the Realized One: ‘That Blessed One is perfected, a fully awakened Buddha, accomplished in knowledge and conduct, holy, knower of the world, supreme guide for those who wish to train, teacher of gods and humans, awakened, blessed.’ When a noble disciple recollects the Realized One their mind is not full of greed, hate, and delusion. At that time their mind is unswerving. They’ve left behind greed; they’re free of it and have risen above it. ‘Greed’ is a term for the five kinds of sensual stimulation. Relying on this, some sentient beings are purified in this way.

Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako saṅghaṁ anussarati: ‘suppaṭipanno bhagavato sāvakasaṅgho …pe… anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassā’ti. Yasmiṁ, bhikkhave, samaye ariyasāvako saṅghaṁ anussarati, nevassa tasmiṁ samaye rāgapariyuṭṭhitaṁ cittaṁ hoti, na dosapariyuṭṭhitaṁ cittaṁ hoti, na mohapariyuṭṭhitaṁ cittaṁ hoti; ujugatamevassa tasmiṁ samaye cittaṁ hoti, nikkhantaṁ muttaṁ vuṭṭhitaṁ gedhamhā. ‘Gedho’ti kho, bhikkhave, pañcannetaṁ kāmaguṇānaṁ adhivacanaṁ. Idampi kho, bhikkhave, ārammaṇaṁ karitvā evam’idhekacce sattā visujjhanti.
Furthermore, a noble disciple recollects the Saṅgha: ‘The Saṅgha of the Buddha’s disciples is practicing the way that’s good, direct, systematic, and proper. It consists of the four pairs, the eight individuals.

Furthermore, a noble disciple recollects their own generosity: ‘I’m so fortunate, so very fortunate! Among people full of the stain of stinginess I live at home rid of the stain of stinginess, freely generous, open-handed, loving to let go, committed to charity, loving to give and to share.’ When a noble disciple recollects their generosity their mind is not full of greed, hate, and delusion. …
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, अरियसावको देवता अनुस्सरति: ‘सन्ति देवा चातुमहाराजिका, सन्ति देवा तावतिंसा, सन्ति देवा यामा, सन्ति देवा तुसिता, सन्ति देवा निम्मानरतिनो, सन्ति देवा परनिम्मितवसवत्तिनो, सन्ति देवा ब्रह्मकायिका, सन्ति देवा ततुत्तरि। यथारूपाय सद्धाय समन्नागता ता देवता इतो चुता तत्थ उपपन्ना; मय्हम्पि तथारूपा सद्धा संविज्जति। यथारूपेन सीलेन … सुतेन … चागेन … पञ्ञाय समन्नागता ता देवता इतो चुता तत्थ उपपन्ना; मय्हम्पि तथारूपा पञ्ञा संविज्जतीऽति।

Furthermore, a noble disciple recollects the deities: ‘There are the Gods of the Four Great Kings, the Gods of the Thirty-Three, the Gods of Yama, the Joyful Gods, the Gods Who Love to Create, the Gods Who Control the Creations of Others, the Gods of Brahmā’s Host, and gods even higher than these. When those deities passed away from here, they were reborn there because of their faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom. I, too, have the same kind of faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom.’
यस्मिं, भिक्खवे, समये अरियसावको अत्तनो च तासञ्च देवतानं सद्धञ्च सीलञ्च सुतञ्च चागञ्च पञ्ञञ्च अनुस्सरति नेवस्स तस्मिं समये रागपरियुट्ठितं चित्तं होति, न दोसपरियुट्ठितं चित्तं होति, न मोहपरियुट्ठितं चित्तं होति; उजुगतमेवस्स तस्मिं समये चित्तं होति, निक्खन्तं मुत्तं वुट्ठितं गेधम्हा। ‘गेधोऽति खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चन्नेतं कामगुणानं अधिवचनं। इदम्पि खो, भिक्खवे, आरम्मणं करित्वा एवम्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता विसुज्झन्ति।

When a noble disciple recollects the faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom of both themselves and the deities their mind is not full of greed, hate, and delusion. At that time their mind is unswerving. They’ve left behind greed; they’re free of it and have risen above it. ‘Greed’ is a term for the five kinds of sensual stimulation. Relying on this, some sentient beings are purified in this way.
