“यस्स कस्सचि, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुस्स वा भिक्खुनिया वा पञ्च चेतोखिला अप्पहीना पञ्च चेतसोविनिबन्धा असमुच्छिन्ना, तस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति हानियेव पाटिकङ्खा कुसलेसु धम्मेसु नो वुद्धि।
“Yassa kassaci, bhikkhave, bhikkhussa vā bhikkhuniyā vā pañca cetokhilā appahīnā pañca cetasovinibandhā asamucchinnā, tassa yā ratti vā divaso vā āgacchati hāniyeva pāṭikaṅkhā kusalesu dhammesu no vuddhi.
“Bhikkhus, a monk or nun who has not given up five kinds of emotional barrenness and has not cut off five emotional shackles can expect decline, not growth, in skillful qualities, whether by day or by night.
कतमस्स पञ्च चेतोखिला अप्पहीना होन्ति?
Katamassa pañca cetokhilā appahīnā honti?
What are the five kinds of emotional barrenness they haven’t given up?
इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सत्थरि कङ्खति विचिकिच्छति नाधिमुच्चति न सम्पसीदति। यो सो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सत्थरि कङ्खति विचिकिच्छति नाधिमुच्चति न सम्पसीदति, तस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय। यस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय, एवमस्सायं पठमो चेतोखिलो अप्पहीनो होति।
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu satthari kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu satthari kaṅkhati vicikicchati nādhimuccati na sampasīdati, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, evamassāyaṁ paṭhamo cetokhilo appahīno hoti.
Firstly, a bhikkhu has doubts about the Teacher. They’re uncertain, undecided, and lacking confidence. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the first kind of emotional barrenness they haven’t given up.
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु धम्मे कङ्खति …पे… सङ्घे कङ्खति … सिक्खाय कङ्खति … सब्रह्मचारीसु कुपितो होति अनत्तमनो आहतचित्तो खिलजातो। यो सो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सब्रह्मचारीसु कुपितो होति अनत्तमनो आहतचित्तो खिलजातो, तस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय। यस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय, एवमस्सायं पञ्चमो चेतोखिलो अप्पहीनो होति। इमस्स पञ्च चेतोखिला अप्पहीना होन्ति।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu dhamme kaṅkhati …pe… saṅghe kaṅkhati … sikkhāya kaṅkhati … sabrahmacārīsu kupito hoti anattamano āhatacitto khilajāto. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sabrahmacārīsu kupito hoti anattamano āhatacitto khilajāto, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, evamassāyaṁ pañcamo cetokhilo appahīno hoti. Imassa pañca cetokhilā appahīnā honti.
Furthermore, a bhikkhu has doubts about the teaching … the Saṅgha … the training … A bhikkhu is angry and upset with their spiritual companions, resentful and closed off. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the fifth kind of emotional barrenness they haven’t given up. These are the five kinds of emotional barrenness they haven’t given up.
कतमस्स पञ्च चेतसोविनिबन्धा असमुच्छिन्ना होन्ति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु कामेसु अवीतरागो होति अविगतच्छन्दो अविगतपेमो अविगतपिपासो अविगतपरिळाहो अविगततण्हो। यो सो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु कामेसु अवीतरागो होति अविगतच्छन्दो अविगतपेमो अविगतपिपासो अविगतपरिळाहो अविगततण्हो, तस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय। यस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय, एवमस्सायं पठमो चेतसोविनिबन्धो असमुच्छिन्नो होति।
Katamassa pañca cetasovinibandhā asamucchinnā honti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāmesu avītarāgo hoti avigatacchando avigatapemo avigatapipāso avigatapariḷāho avigatataṇho. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāmesu avītarāgo hoti avigatacchando avigatapemo avigatapipāso avigatapariḷāho avigatataṇho, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, evamassāyaṁ paṭhamo cetasovinibandho asamucchinno hoti.
What are the five emotional shackles they haven’t cut off? Firstly, a bhikkhu isn’t free of greed, desire, fondness, thirst, passion, and craving for sensual pleasures. This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the first emotional shackle they haven’t cut off.
पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु काये अवीतरागो होति …पे… रूपे अवीतरागो होति …पे… यावदत्थं उदरावदेहकं भुञ्जित्वा सेय्यसुखं पस्ससुखं मिद्धसुखं अनुयुत्तो विहरति … अञ्ञतरं देवनिकायं पणिधाय ब्रह्मचरियं चरति: ‘इमिनाहं सीलेन वा वतेन वा तपेन वा ब्रह्मचरियेन वा देवो वा भविस्सामि देवञ्ञतरो वाऽति। यो सो, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु अञ्ञतरं देवनिकायं पणिधाय ब्रह्मचरियं चरति: ‘इमिनाहं सीलेन वा वतेन वा तपेन वा ब्रह्मचरियेन वा देवो वा भविस्सामि देवञ्ञतरो वाऽति, तस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय। यस्स चित्तं न नमति आतप्पाय अनुयोगाय सातच्चाय पधानाय, एवमस्सायं पञ्चमो चेतसोविनिबन्धो असमुच्छिन्नो होति। इमस्स पञ्च चेतसोविनिबन्धा असमुच्छिन्ना होन्ति।
Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, bhikkhu kāye avītarāgo hoti …pe… rūpe avītarāgo hoti …pe… yāvadatthaṁ udarāvadehakaṁ bhuñjitvā seyyasukhaṁ passasukhaṁ middhasukhaṁ anuyutto viharati … aññataraṁ devanikāyaṁ paṇidhāya brahmacariyaṁ carati: ‘imināhaṁ sīlena vā vatena vā tapena vā brahmacariyena vā devo vā bhavissāmi devaññataro vā’ti. Yo so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu aññataraṁ devanikāyaṁ paṇidhāya brahmacariyaṁ carati: ‘imināhaṁ sīlena vā vatena vā tapena vā brahmacariyena vā devo vā bhavissāmi devaññataro vā’ti, tassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya. Yassa cittaṁ na namati ātappāya anuyogāya sātaccāya padhānāya, evamassāyaṁ pañcamo cetasovinibandho asamucchinno hoti. Imassa pañca cetasovinibandhā asamucchinnā honti.
Furthermore, a bhikkhu isn’t free of greed for the body … They’re not free of greed for form … They eat as much as they like until their belly is full, then indulge in the pleasures of sleeping, lying down, and drowsing … They lead the spiritual life wishing to be reborn in one of the orders of gods: ‘By this precept or observance or fervent austerity or spiritual life, may I become one of the gods!’ This being so, their mind doesn’t incline toward keenness, commitment, persistence, and striving. This is the fifth emotional shackle they haven’t cut off. These are the five emotional shackles they haven’t cut off.
यस्स कस्सचि, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुस्स वा भिक्खुनिया वा इमे पञ्च चेतोखिला अप्पहीना इमे पञ्च चेतसोविनिबन्धा असमुच्छिन्ना, तस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति हानियेव पाटिकङ्खा कुसलेसु धम्मेसु नो वुद्धि।
Yassa kassaci, bhikkhave, bhikkhussa vā bhikkhuniyā vā ime pañca cetokhilā appahīnā ime pañca cetasovinibandhā asamucchinnā, tassa yā ratti vā divaso vā āgacchati hāniyeva pāṭikaṅkhā kusalesu dhammesu no vuddhi.
A monk or nun who has not given up these five kinds of emotional barrenness and has not cut off these five emotional shackles can expect decline, not growth, in skillful qualities, whether by day or by night.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, काळपक्खे चन्दस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति, हायतेव वण्णेन हायति मण्डलेन हायति आभाय हायति आरोहपरिणाहेन; एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, यस्स कस्सचि भिक्खुस्स वा भिक्खुनिया वा इमे पञ्च चेतोखिला अप्पहीना इमे पञ्च चेतसोविनिबन्धा असमुच्छिन्ना, तस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति हानियेव पाटिकङ्खा कुसलेसु धम्मेसु नो वुद्धि।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, kāḷapakkhe candassa yā ratti vā divaso vā āgacchati, hāyateva vaṇṇena hāyati maṇḍalena hāyati ābhāya hāyati ārohapariṇāhena; evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, yassa kassaci bhikkhussa vā bhikkhuniyā vā ime pañca cetokhilā appahīnā ime pañca cetasovinibandhā asamucchinnā, tassa yā ratti vā divaso vā āgacchati hāniyeva pāṭikaṅkhā kusalesu dhammesu no vuddhi.
It’s like the moon in the waning fortnight. Whether by day or by night, its beauty, roundness, light, and diameter and circumference only decline. In the same way, monk or nun who has not given up these five kinds of emotional barrenness and has not cut off these five emotional shackles can expect decline, not growth, in skillful qualities, whether by day or by night.
यस्स कस्सचि, भिक्खवे, भिक्खुस्स वा भिक्खुनिया वा पञ्च चेतोखिला पहीना पञ्च चेतसोविनिबन्धा सुसमुच्छिन्ना, तस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति वुद्धियेव पाटिकङ्खा कुसलेसु धम्मेसु नो परिहानि।
