एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति वेळुवने कलन्दकनिवापे। तत्र खो भगवा भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “भिक्खवो”ति।
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: “bhikkhavo”ti.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. There the Buddha addressed the bhikkhus, “Bhikkhus!”
“भदन्ते”ति ते भिक्खू भगवतो पच्चस्सोसुं। भगवा एतदवोच:
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ. Bhagavā etadavoca:
“Venerable sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this:
“भूतपुब्बं, भिक्खवे, अञ्ञतरो पुरिसो इमस्मिंयेव राजगहे मनुस्सदलिद्दो अहोसि मनुस्सकपणो मनुस्सवराको। सो तथागतप्पवेदिते धम्मविनये सद्धं समादियि, सीलं समादियि, सुतं समादियि, चागं समादियि, पञ्ञं समादियि। सो तथागतप्पवेदिते धम्मविनये सद्धं समादियित्वा सीलं समादियित्वा सुतं समादियित्वा चागं समादियित्वा पञ्ञं समादियित्वा कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपज्जि देवानं तावतिंसानं सहब्यतं। सो अञ्ञे देवे अतिरोचति वण्णेन चेव यससा च।
“Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, aññataro puriso imasmiṁyeva rājagahe manussadaliddo1 ahosi manussakapaṇo manussavarāko. So tathāgatappavedite dhammavinaye saddhaṁ samādiyi, sīlaṁ samādiyi, sutaṁ samādiyi, cāgaṁ samādiyi, paññaṁ samādiyi. So tathāgatappavedite dhammavinaye saddhaṁ samādiyitvā sīlaṁ samādiyitvā sutaṁ samādiyitvā cāgaṁ samādiyitvā paññaṁ samādiyitvā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajji devānaṁ tāvatiṁsānaṁ sahabyataṁ. So aññe deve atirocati vaṇṇena ceva yasasā ca.
“Once upon a time, bhikkhus, there was a poor person, destitute and pitiful. They took up faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom in the teaching and training proclaimed by the Realized One. After undertaking these things, when their body broke up, after death, they were reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm, in the company of the gods of the Thirty-Three. There they outshone the other gods in beauty and glory.
तत्र सुदं, भिक्खवे, देवा तावतिंसा उज्झायन्ति खिय्यन्ति विपाचेन्ति: ‘अच्छरियं वत भो, अब्भुतं वत भो। अयञ्हि देवपुत्तो पुब्बे मनुस्सभूतो समानो मनुस्सदलिद्दो अहोसि मनुस्सकपणो मनुस्सवराको; सो कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपन्नो देवानं तावतिंसानं सहब्यतं। सो अञ्ञे देवे अतिरोचति वण्णेन चेव यससा चाऽति।
Tatra sudaṁ, bhikkhave, devā tāvatiṁsā ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti: ‘acchariyaṁ vata bho, abbhutaṁ vata bho. Ayañhi devaputto pubbe manussabhūto samāno manussadaliddo ahosi manussakapaṇo manussavarāko; so kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapanno devānaṁ tāvatiṁsānaṁ sahabyataṁ. So aññe deve atirocati vaṇṇena ceva yasasā cā’ti.
But the gods of the Thirty-Three complained, grumbled, and objected, ‘Oh, how incredible, how amazing! For when this god was a human being in their past life they were poor, destitute, and pitiful. And when their body broke up, after death, they were reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm, in the company of the gods of the Thirty-Three. Here they outshine the other gods in beauty and glory.’
अथ खो, भिक्खवे, सक्को देवानमिन्दो देवे तावतिंसे आमन्तेसि: ‘मा खो तुम्हे, मारिसा, एतस्स देवपुत्तस्स उज्झायित्थ। एसो खो, मारिसा, देवपुत्तो पुब्बे मनुस्सभूतो समानो तथागतप्पवेदिते धम्मविनये सद्धं समादियि, सीलं समादियि, सुतं समादियि, चागं समादियि, पञ्ञं समादियि। सो तथागतप्पवेदिते धम्मविनये सद्धं समादियित्वा सीलं समादियित्वा सुतं समादियित्वा चागं समादियित्वा पञ्ञं समादियित्वा कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपन्नो देवानं तावतिंसानं सहब्यतं। सो अञ्ञे देवे अतिरोचति वण्णेन चेव यससा चाऽति।
Atha kho, bhikkhave, sakko devānamindo deve tāvatiṁse āmantesi: ‘mā kho tumhe, mārisā, etassa devaputtassa ujjhāyittha. Eso kho, mārisā, devaputto pubbe manussabhūto samāno tathāgatappavedite dhammavinaye saddhaṁ samādiyi, sīlaṁ samādiyi, sutaṁ samādiyi, cāgaṁ samādiyi, paññaṁ samādiyi. So tathāgatappavedite dhammavinaye saddhaṁ samādiyitvā sīlaṁ samādiyitvā sutaṁ samādiyitvā cāgaṁ samādiyitvā paññaṁ samādiyitvā kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapanno devānaṁ tāvatiṁsānaṁ sahabyataṁ. So aññe deve atirocati vaṇṇena ceva yasasā cā’ti.
Then Sakka, lord of gods, addressed the gods of the Thirty-Three, ‘Good sirs, don’t complain about this god. When this god was a human being in their past life they took up faith, ethics, learning, generosity, and wisdom in the teaching and training proclaimed by the Realized One. After undertaking these things, when their body broke up, after death, they’ve been reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm, in the company of the gods of the Thirty-Three. Here they outshine the other gods in beauty and glory.’
अथ खो, भिक्खवे, सक्को देवानमिन्दो देवे तावतिंसे अनुनयमानो तायं वेलायं इमा गाथायो अभासि:
Atha kho, bhikkhave, sakko devānamindo deve tāvatiṁse anunayamāno tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imā gāthāyo abhāsi:
Then Sakka, lord of gods, guiding the gods of the Thirty-Three, recited this verse:
‘यस्स सद्धा तथागते, अचला सुप्पतिट्ठिता; सीलञ्च यस्स कल्याणं, अरियकन्तं पसंसितं।
‘Yassa saddhā tathāgate, acalā suppatiṭṭhitā; Sīlañca yassa kalyāṇaṁ, ariyakantaṁ pasaṁsitaṁ.
‘Whoever has faith in the Realized One, unwavering and well grounded; whose ethical conduct is good, praised and loved by the noble ones;
सङ्घे पसादो यस्सत्थि, उजुभूतञ्च दस्सनं; अदलिद्दोति तं आहु, अमोघं तस्स जीवितं।
Saṅghe pasādo yassatthi, ujubhūtañca dassanaṁ; Adaliddoti taṁ āhu, amoghaṁ tassa jīvitaṁ.
who has confidence in the Saṅgha, and correct view: they’re said to be prosperous, their life is not in vain.
तस्मा सद्धञ्च सीलञ्च, पसादं धम्मदस्सनं; अनुयुञ्जेथ मेधावी, सरं बुद्धान सासनन्ऽ”ति।
Tasmā saddhañca sīlañca, pasādaṁ dhammadassanaṁ; Anuyuñjetha medhāvī, saraṁ buddhāna sāsanan’”ti.
So let the wise devote themselves to faith, ethical behaviour, confidence, and insight into the teaching, remembering the instructions of the Buddhas.’”
