“छहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति पाहुनेय्यो दक्खिणेय्यो अञ्जलिकरणीयो अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्स। कतमेहि छहि?
“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassa. Katamehi chahi?
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with six qualities is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of veneration with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world. What six?
इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुनो ये आसवा संवरा पहातब्बा ते संवरेन पहीना होन्ति, ये आसवा पटिसेवना पहातब्बा ते पटिसेवनाय पहीना होन्ति, ये आसवा अधिवासना पहातब्बा ते अधिवासनाय पहीना होन्ति, ये आसवा परिवज्जना पहातब्बा ते परिवज्जनाय पहीना होन्ति, ये आसवा विनोदना पहातब्बा ते विनोदनाय पहीना होन्ति, ये आसवा भावना पहातब्बा ते भावनाय पहीना होन्ति।
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno ye āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā te saṁvarena pahīnā honti, ye āsavā paṭisevanā pahātabbā te paṭisevanāya pahīnā honti, ye āsavā adhivāsanā pahātabbā te adhivāsanāya pahīnā honti, ye āsavā parivajjanā pahātabbā te parivajjanāya pahīnā honti, ye āsavā vinodanā pahātabbā te vinodanāya pahīnā honti, ye āsavā bhāvanā pahātabbā te bhāvanāya pahīnā honti.
It’s a bhikkhu who, by restraint, has given up the defilements that should be given up by restraint. By using, they’ve given up the defilements that should be given up by using. By enduring, they’ve given up the defilements that should be given up by enduring. By avoiding, they’ve given up the defilements that should be given up by avoiding. By getting rid, they’ve given up the defilements that should be given up by getting rid. By developing, they’ve given up the defilements that should be given up by developing.
कतमे च, भिक्खवे, आसवा संवरा पहातब्बा ये संवरेन पहीना होन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पटिसङ्खा योनिसो चक्खुन्द्रियसंवरसंवुतो विहरति। यं हिस्स, भिक्खवे, चक्खुन्द्रियसंवरं असंवुतस्स विहरतो उप्पज्जेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिळाहा, चक्खुन्द्रियसंवरं संवुतस्स विहरतो एवंस ते आसवा विघातपरिळाहा न होन्ति। पटिसङ्खा योनिसो सोतिन्द्रिय …पे… घानिन्द्रिय … जिव्हिन्द्रिय … कायिन्द्रिय … मनिन्द्रियसंवरसंवुतो विहरति। यं हिस्स, भिक्खवे, मनिन्द्रियसंवरं असंवुतस्स विहरतो उप्पज्जेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिळाहा, मनिन्द्रियसंवरं संवुतस्स विहरतो एवंस ते आसवा विघातपरिळाहा न होन्ति। इमे वुच्चन्ति, भिक्खवे, आसवा संवरा पहातब्बा ये संवरेन पहीना होन्ति।
Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā ye saṁvarena pahīnā honti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso cakkhundriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati. Yaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, cakkhundriyasaṁvaraṁ asaṁvutassa viharato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, cakkhundriyasaṁvaraṁ saṁvutassa viharato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti. Paṭisaṅkhā yoniso sotindriya …pe… ghānindriya … jivhindriya … kāyindriya … manindriyasaṁvarasaṁvuto viharati. Yaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, manindriyasaṁvaraṁ asaṁvutassa viharato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, manindriyasaṁvaraṁ saṁvutassa viharato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti. Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā saṁvarā pahātabbā ye saṁvarena pahīnā honti.
And what are the defilements that should be given up by restraint? Take a bhikkhu who, reflecting rationally, lives restraining the eye faculty. For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without restraint of the eye faculty do not arise when there is such restraint. Reflecting rationally, they live restraining the ear faculty … the nose faculty … the tongue faculty … the body faculty … the mind faculty. For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without restraint of the mind faculty do not arise when there is such restraint. These are called the defilements that should be given up by restraint.
कतमे च, भिक्खवे, आसवा पटिसेवना पहातब्बा ये पटिसेवनाय पहीना होन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पटिसङ्खा योनिसो चीवरं पटिसेवति: ‘यावदेव सीतस्स पटिघाताय, उण्हस्स पटिघाताय, डंसमकसवातातपसरीसपसम्फस्सानं पटिघाताय, यावदेव हिरिकोपीनपटिच्छादनत्थंऽ। पटिसङ्खा योनिसो पिण्डपातं पटिसेवति: ‘नेव दवाय न मदाय न मण्डनाय न विभूसनाय, यावदेव इमस्स कायस्स ठितिया यापनाय, विहिंसूपरतिया ब्रह्मचरियानुग्गहाय, इति पुराणञ्च वेदनं पटिहङ्खामि, नवञ्च वेदनं न उप्पादेस्सामि, यात्रा च मे भविस्सति अनवज्जता च फासुविहारो चऽ। पटिसङ्खा योनिसो सेनासनं पटिसेवति: ‘यावदेव सीतस्स पटिघाताय, उण्हस्स पटिघाताय, डंसमकसवातातपसरीसपसम्फस्सानं पटिघाताय, यावदेव उतुपरिस्सयविनोदनपटिसल्लानारामत्थंऽ। पटिसङ्खा योनिसो गिलानपच्चयभेसज्जपरिक्खारं पटिसेवति: ‘यावदेव उप्पन्नानं वेय्याबाधिकानं वेदनानं पटिघाताय, अब्याबज्झपरमतायाऽति। यं हिस्स, भिक्खवे, अप्पटिसेवतो उप्पज्जेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिळाहा, पटिसेवतो एवंस ते आसवा विघातपरिळाहा न होन्ति। इमे वुच्चन्ति, भिक्खवे, आसवा पटिसेवना पहातब्बा ये पटिसेवनाय पहीना होन्ति।
Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā paṭisevanā pahātabbā ye paṭisevanāya pahīnā honti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso cīvaraṁ paṭisevati: ‘yāvadeva sītassa paṭighātāya, uṇhassa paṭighātāya, ḍaṁsamakasavātātapasarīsapasamphassānaṁ paṭighātāya, yāvadeva hirikopīnapaṭicchādanatthaṁ’. Paṭisaṅkhā yoniso piṇḍapātaṁ paṭisevati: ‘neva davāya na madāya na maṇḍanāya na vibhūsanāya, yāvadeva imassa kāyassa ṭhitiyā yāpanāya, vihiṁsūparatiyā brahmacariyānuggahāya, iti purāṇañca vedanaṁ paṭihaṅkhāmi, navañca vedanaṁ na uppādessāmi, yātrā ca me bhavissati anavajjatā ca phāsuvihāro ca’. Paṭisaṅkhā yoniso senāsanaṁ paṭisevati: ‘yāvadeva sītassa paṭighātāya, uṇhassa paṭighātāya, ḍaṁsamakasavātātapasarīsapasamphassānaṁ paṭighātāya, yāvadeva utuparissayavinodanapaṭisallānārāmatthaṁ’. Paṭisaṅkhā yoniso gilānapaccayabhesajjaparikkhāraṁ paṭisevati: ‘yāvadeva uppannānaṁ veyyābādhikānaṁ vedanānaṁ paṭighātāya, abyābajjhaparamatāyā’ti. Yaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, appaṭisevato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, paṭisevato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti. Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā paṭisevanā pahātabbā ye paṭisevanāya pahīnā honti.
And what are the defilements that should be given up by using? Take a bhikkhu who, reflecting rationally, makes use of robes: ‘Only for the sake of warding off cold and heat; for warding off the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles; and for covering up the private parts.’ Reflecting rationally, they make use of almsfood: ‘Not for fun, indulgence, adornment, or decoration, but only to sustain this body, to avoid harm, and to support spiritual practice. In this way, I shall put an end to old discomfort and not give rise to new discomfort, and I will live blamelessly and at ease.’ Reflecting rationally, they make use of lodgings: ‘Only for the sake of warding off cold and heat; for warding off the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles; to shelter from harsh weather and to enjoy retreat.’ Reflecting rationally, they make use of medicines and supplies for the sick: ‘Only for the sake of warding off the pains of illness and to promote good health.’ For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without using these things do not arise when they are used. These are called the defilements that should be given up by using.
कतमे च, भिक्खवे, आसवा अधिवासना पहातब्बा ये अधिवासनाय पहीना होन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पटिसङ्खा योनिसो खमो होति सीतस्स उण्हस्स, जिघच्छाय, पिपासाय, डंसमकसवातातपसरीसपसम्फस्सानं, दुरुत्तानं दुरागतानं वचनपथानं, उप्पन्नानं सारीरिकानं वेदनानं दुक्खानं तिब्बानं खरानं कटुकानं असातानं अमनापानं पाणहरानं अधिवासकजातिको होति। यं हिस्स, भिक्खवे, अनधिवासतो उप्पज्जेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिळाहा, अधिवासतो एवंस ते आसवा विघातपरिळाहा न होन्ति। इमे वुच्चन्ति, भिक्खवे, आसवा अधिवासना पहातब्बा ये अधिवासनाय पहीना होन्ति।
Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā adhivāsanā pahātabbā ye adhivāsanāya pahīnā honti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso khamo hoti sītassa uṇhassa, jighacchāya, pipāsāya, ḍaṁsamakasavātātapasarīsapasamphassānaṁ, duruttānaṁ durāgatānaṁ vacanapathānaṁ, uppannānaṁ sārīrikānaṁ vedanānaṁ dukkhānaṁ tibbānaṁ kharānaṁ kaṭukānaṁ asātānaṁ amanāpānaṁ pāṇaharānaṁ adhivāsakajātiko hoti. Yaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, anadhivāsato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, adhivāsato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti. Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā adhivāsanā pahātabbā ye adhivāsanāya pahīnā honti.
And what are the defilements that should be given up by enduring? Take a bhikkhu who, reflecting rationally, endures cold, heat, hunger, and thirst. They endure the touch of flies, mosquitoes, wind, sun, and reptiles. They endure rude and unwelcome criticism. And they put up with physical pain—sharp, severe, acute, unpleasant, disagreeable, and life-threatening. For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without enduring these things do not arise when they are endured. These are called the defilements that should be given up by enduring.
कतमे च, भिक्खवे, आसवा परिवज्जना पहातब्बा ये परिवज्जनाय पहीना होन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पटिसङ्खा योनिसो चण्डं हत्थिं परिवज्जेति, चण्डं अस्सं परिवज्जेति, चण्डं गोणं परिवज्जेति, चण्डं कुक्कुरं परिवज्जेति, अहिं खाणुं कण्टकट्ठानं सोब्भं पपातं चन्दनिकं ओळिगल्लं, यथारूपे अनासने निसिन्नं, यथारूपे अगोचरे चरन्तं, यथारूपे पापके मित्ते भजन्तं विञ्ञू सब्रह्मचारी पापकेसु ठानेसु ओकप्पेय्युं, सो तञ्च अनासनं तञ्च अगोचरं ते च पापके मित्ते पटिसङ्खा योनिसो परिवज्जेति। यं हिस्स, भिक्खवे, अपरिवज्जयतो उप्पज्जेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिळाहा, परिवज्जयतो एवंस ते आसवा विघातपरिळाहा न होन्ति। इमे वुच्चन्ति, भिक्खवे, आसवा परिवज्जना पहातब्बा ये परिवज्जनाय पहीना होन्ति।
Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā parivajjanā pahātabbā ye parivajjanāya pahīnā honti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso caṇḍaṁ hatthiṁ parivajjeti, caṇḍaṁ assaṁ parivajjeti, caṇḍaṁ goṇaṁ parivajjeti, caṇḍaṁ kukkuraṁ parivajjeti, ahiṁ khāṇuṁ kaṇṭakaṭṭhānaṁ sobbhaṁ papātaṁ candanikaṁ oḷigallaṁ, yathārūpe anāsane nisinnaṁ, yathārūpe agocare carantaṁ, yathārūpe pāpake mitte bhajantaṁ viññū sabrahmacārī pāpakesu ṭhānesu okappeyyuṁ, so tañca anāsanaṁ tañca agocaraṁ te ca pāpake mitte paṭisaṅkhā yoniso parivajjeti. Yaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, aparivajjayato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, parivajjayato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti. Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā parivajjanā pahātabbā ye parivajjanāya pahīnā honti.
And what are the defilements that should be given up by avoiding? Take a bhikkhu who, reflecting rationally, avoids a wild elephant, a wild horse, a wild ox, a wild dog, a snake, a stump, thorny ground, a pit, a cliff, a swamp, and a sewer. Reflecting rationally, they avoid sitting on inappropriate seats, walking in inappropriate neighborhoods, and mixing with bad friends—whatever sensible spiritual companions would believe to be a bad setting. For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without avoiding these things do not arise when they are avoided. These are called the defilements that should be given up by avoiding.
कतमे च, भिक्खवे, आसवा विनोदना पहातब्बा ये विनोदनाय पहीना होन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पटिसङ्खा योनिसो उप्पन्नं कामवितक्कं नाधिवासेति पजहति विनोदेति ब्यन्तीकरोति अनभावं गमेति, पटिसङ्खा योनिसो उप्पन्नं ब्यापादवितक्कं … उप्पन्नं विहिंसावितक्कं … उप्पन्नुप्पन्ने पापके अकुसले धम्मे नाधिवासेति पजहति विनोदेति ब्यन्तीकरोति अनभावं गमेति। यं हिस्स, भिक्खवे, अविनोदयतो उप्पज्जेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिळाहा, विनोदयतो एवंस ते आसवा विघातपरिळाहा न होन्ति। इमे वुच्चन्ति, भिक्खवे, आसवा विनोदना पहातब्बा ये विनोदनाय पहीना होन्ति।
Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā vinodanā pahātabbā ye vinodanāya pahīnā honti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso uppannaṁ kāmavitakkaṁ nādhivāseti pajahati vinodeti byantīkaroti anabhāvaṁ gameti, paṭisaṅkhā yoniso uppannaṁ byāpādavitakkaṁ … uppannaṁ vihiṁsāvitakkaṁ … uppannuppanne pāpake akusale dhamme nādhivāseti pajahati vinodeti byantīkaroti anabhāvaṁ gameti. Yaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, avinodayato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, vinodayato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti. Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā vinodanā pahātabbā ye vinodanāya pahīnā honti.
And what are the defilements that should be given up by getting rid? Take a bhikkhu who, reflecting rationally, doesn’t tolerate a sensual, malicious, or cruel thought that has arisen. They don’t tolerate any bad, unskillful qualities that have arisen, but give them up, get rid of them, eliminate them, and obliterate them. For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without getting rid of these things do not arise when they are gotten rid of. These are called the defilements that should be given up by getting rid.
कतमे च, भिक्खवे, आसवा भावना पहातब्बा ये भावनाय पहीना होन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु पटिसङ्खा योनिसो सतिसम्बोज्झङ्गं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोसग्गपरिणामिं, पटिसङ्खा योनिसो धम्मविचयसम्बोज्झङ्गं भावेति … वीरियसम्बोज्झङ्गं भावेति … पीतिसम्बोज्झङ्गं भावेति … पस्सद्धिसम्बोज्झङ्गं भावेति … समाधिसम्बोज्झङ्गं भावेति … उपेक्खासम्बोज्झङ्गं भावेति विवेकनिस्सितं विरागनिस्सितं निरोधनिस्सितं वोसग्गपरिणामिं। यं हिस्स, भिक्खवे, अभावयतो उप्पज्जेय्युं आसवा विघातपरिळाहा, भावयतो एवंस ते आसवा विघातपरिळाहा न होन्ति। इमे वुच्चन्ति, भिक्खवे, आसवा भावना पहातब्बा ये भावनाय पहीना होन्ति।
Katame ca, bhikkhave, āsavā bhāvanā pahātabbā ye bhāvanāya pahīnā honti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu paṭisaṅkhā yoniso satisambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vosaggapariṇāmiṁ, paṭisaṅkhā yoniso dhammavicayasambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti … vīriyasambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti … pītisambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti … passaddhisambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti … samādhisambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti … upekkhāsambojjhaṅgaṁ bhāveti vivekanissitaṁ virāganissitaṁ nirodhanissitaṁ vosaggapariṇāmiṁ. Yaṁ hissa, bhikkhave, abhāvayato uppajjeyyuṁ āsavā vighātapariḷāhā, bhāvayato evaṁsa te āsavā vighātapariḷāhā na honti. Ime vuccanti, bhikkhave, āsavā bhāvanā pahātabbā ye bhāvanāya pahīnā honti.
And what are the defilements that should be given up by developing? Take a bhikkhu who, reflecting rationally, develops the awakening factors of mindfulness, investigation of principles, energy, rapture, tranquility, immersion, and equanimity, which rely on seclusion, fading away, and cessation, and ripen as letting go. For the distressing and feverish defilements that might arise in someone who lives without developing these things do not arise when they are developed. These are called the defilements that should be given up by developing.
इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, छहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति पाहुनेय्यो दक्खिणेय्यो अञ्जलिकरणीयो अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्सा”ति।
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassā”ti.
A bhikkhu with these six qualities is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of veneration with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world.”
