एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति गिज्झकूटे पब्बते अचिरपक्कन्ते देवदत्ते। तत्र खो भगवा देवदत्तं आरब्भ भिक्खू आमन्तेसि:
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati gijjhakūṭe pabbate acirapakkante devadatte. Tatra kho bhagavā devadattaṁ ārabbha bhikkhū āmantesi:
At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain, not long after Devadatta had left. There the Buddha spoke to the bhikkhus about Devadatta:
“अत्तवधाय, भिक्खवे, देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि। पराभवाय, भिक्खवे, देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि।
“attavadhāya, bhikkhave, devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi. Parābhavāya, bhikkhave, devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi.
“Possessions, honor, and popularity came to Devadatta for his own ruin and downfall.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, कदली अत्तवधाय फलं देति, पराभवाय फलं देति; एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, अत्तवधाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि, पराभवाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, वेळु अत्तवधाय फलं देति, पराभवाय फलं देति; एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, अत्तवधाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि, पराभवाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, नळो अत्तवधाय फलं देति, पराभवाय फलं देति; एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, अत्तवधाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि, पराभवाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, kadalī attavadhāya phalaṁ deti, parābhavāya phalaṁ deti; evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, attavadhāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi, parābhavāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, veḷu attavadhāya phalaṁ deti, parābhavāya phalaṁ deti; evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, attavadhāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi, parābhavāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, naḷo attavadhāya phalaṁ deti, parābhavāya phalaṁ deti; evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, attavadhāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi, parābhavāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi.
It’s like a banana tree, or a bamboo, or a reed, all of which bear fruit to their own ruin and downfall …
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, अस्सतरी अत्तवधाय गब्भं गण्हाति, पराभवाय गब्भं गण्हाति; एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, अत्तवधाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादि, पराभवाय देवदत्तस्स लाभसक्कारसिलोको उदपादीति।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, assatarī attavadhāya gabbhaṁ gaṇhāti, parābhavāya gabbhaṁ gaṇhāti; evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, attavadhāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādi, parābhavāya devadattassa lābhasakkārasiloko udapādīti.
It’s like a mule, which becomes pregnant to its own ruin and downfall. In the same way, possessions, honor, and popularity came to Devadatta for his own ruin and downfall.
फलं वे कदलिं हन्ति, फलं वेळुं फलं नळं; सक्कारो कापुरिसं हन्ति, गब्भो अस्सतरिं यथा”ति।
Phalaṁ ve kadaliṁ hanti, phalaṁ veḷuṁ phalaṁ naḷaṁ; Sakkāro kāpurisaṁ hanti, gabbho assatariṁ yathā”ti.
The banana tree is destroyed by its own fruit, as are the bamboo and the reed. Honor destroys a sinner, as pregnancy destroys a mule.”
अट्ठमं।
Aṭṭhamaṁ.
