Worthy of Offerings (2nd)
“छहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति …पे… अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्स। कतमेहि छहि?
“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti …pe… 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, भिक्खु अनेकविहितं इद्धिविधं पच्चनुभोति—एकोपि हुत्वा बहुधा होति, बहुधापि हुत्वा एको होति; आविभावं तिरोभावं; तिरोकुट्टं तिरोपाकारं तिरोपब्बतं असज्जमानो गच्छति, सेय्यथापि आकासे; पथवियापि उम्मुज्जनिमुज्जं करोति, सेय्यथापि उदके; उदकेपि अभिज्जमाने गच्छति, सेय्यथापि पथवियं; आकासेपि पल्लङ्केन कमति, सेय्यथापि पक्खी सकुणो; इमेपि चन्दिमसूरिये एवंमहिद्धिके एवंमहानुभावे पाणिना परिमसति परिमज्जति; याव ब्रह्मलोकापि कायेन वसं वत्तेति।
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu anekavihitaṁ iddhividhaṁ paccanubhoti—ekopi hutvā bahudhā hoti, bahudhāpi hutvā eko hoti; āvibhāvaṁ tirobhāvaṁ; tirokuṭṭaṁ tiropākāraṁ tiropabbataṁ asajjamāno gacchati, seyyathāpi ākāse; pathaviyāpi ummujjanimujjaṁ karoti, seyyathāpi udake; udakepi abhijjamāne gacchati, seyyathāpi pathaviyaṁ; ākāsepi pallaṅkena kamati, seyyathāpi pakkhī sakuṇo; imepi candimasūriye evaṁmahiddhike evaṁmahānubhāve pāṇinā parimasati1 parimajjati; yāva brahmalokāpi kāyena vasaṁ vatteti.
It’s a bhikkhu who wields the many kinds of psychic power: multiplying themselves and becoming one again; appearing and disappearing; going unimpeded through a wall, a rampart, or a mountain as if through space; diving in and out of the earth as if it were water; walking on water as if it were earth; flying cross-legged through the sky like a bird; touching and stroking with the hand the sun and moon, so mighty and powerful. They control the body as far as the Brahmā realm.
दिब्बाय, सोतधातुया विसुद्धाय अतिक्कन्तमानुसिकाय उभो सद्दे सुणाति—दिब्बे च मानुसे च, ये दूरे सन्तिके च।
Dibbāya, sotadhātuyā visuddhāya atikkantamānusikāya ubho sadde suṇāti—dibbe ca mānuse ca, ye dūre santike ca.
With clairaudience that is purified and superhuman, they hear both kinds of sounds, human and divine, whether near or far.
परसत्तानं परपुग्गलानं चेतसा चेतो परिच्च पजानाति। सरागं वा चित्तं सरागं चित्तन्ति पजानाति, वीतरागं वा चित्तं … सदोसं वा चित्तं … वीतदोसं वा चित्तं … समोहं वा चित्तं … वीतमोहं वा चित्तं … सङ्खित्तं वा चित्तं … विक्खित्तं वा चित्तं … महग्गतं वा चित्तं … अमहग्गतं वा चित्तं … सौत्तरं वा चित्तं … अनुत्तरं वा चित्तं … समाहितं वा चित्तं … असमाहितं वा चित्तं … विमुत्तं वा चित्तं … अविमुत्तं वा चित्तं अविमुत्तं चित्तन्ति पजानाति।
Parasattānaṁ parapuggalānaṁ cetasā ceto paricca pajānāti. Sarāgaṁ vā cittaṁ sarāgaṁ cittanti pajānāti, vītarāgaṁ vā cittaṁ … sadosaṁ vā cittaṁ … vītadosaṁ vā cittaṁ … samohaṁ vā cittaṁ … vītamohaṁ vā cittaṁ … saṅkhittaṁ vā cittaṁ … vikkhittaṁ vā cittaṁ … mahaggataṁ vā cittaṁ … amahaggataṁ vā cittaṁ … sauttaraṁ vā cittaṁ … anuttaraṁ vā cittaṁ … samāhitaṁ vā cittaṁ … asamāhitaṁ vā cittaṁ … vimuttaṁ vā cittaṁ … avimuttaṁ vā cittaṁ avimuttaṁ cittanti pajānāti.
They understand the minds of other beings and individuals, having comprehended them with their own mind. They understand mind with greed as ‘mind with greed’, and mind without greed as ‘mind without greed’. They understand mind with hate … mind without hate … mind with delusion … mind without delusion … constricted mind … scattered mind … expansive mind … unexpansive mind … mind that is not supreme … mind that is supreme … mind immersed in samādhi … mind not immersed in samādhi … freed mind … They understand unfreed mind as ‘unfreed mind’.
अनेकविहितं पुब्बेनिवासं अनुस्सरति, सेय्यथिदं—एकम्पि जातिं द्वेपि जातियो …पे…। इति साकारं सौद्देसं अनेकविहितं पुब्बेनिवासं अनुस्सरति।
Anekavihitaṁ pubbenivāsaṁ anussarati, seyyathidaṁ—ekampi jātiṁ dvepi jātiyo …pe…. Iti sākāraṁ sauddesaṁ anekavihitaṁ pubbenivāsaṁ anussarati.
They recollect many kinds of past lives. That is: one, two, three, four, five, ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty, a hundred, a thousand, a hundred thousand rebirths; many eons of the world contracting, many eons of the world expanding, many eons of the world contracting and expanding. They remember: ‘There, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn somewhere else. There, too, I was named this, my clan was that, I looked like this, and that was my food. This was how I felt pleasure and pain, and that was how my life ended. When I passed away from that place I was reborn here.’ And so they recollect their many kinds of past lives, with features and details.
दिब्बेन चक्खुना विसुद्धेन अतिक्कन्तमानुसकेन सत्ते पस्सति चवमाने उपपज्जमाने हीने पणीते सुवण्णे दुब्बण्णे, सुगते दुग्गते यथाकम्मूपगे सत्ते पजानाति: ‘इमे वत भोन्तो सत्ता कायदुच्चरितेन समन्नागता वचीदुच्चरितेन समन्नागता मनोदुच्चरितेन समन्नागता अरियानं उपवादका मिच्छादिट्ठिका मिच्छादिट्ठिकम्मसमादाना, ते कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा अपायं दुग्गतिं विनिपातं निरयं उपपन्ना। इमे वा पन भोन्तो सत्ता कायसुचरितेन समन्नागता वचीसुचरितेन समन्नागता मनोसुचरितेन समन्नागता अरियानं अनुपवादका सम्मादिट्ठिका सम्मादिट्ठिकम्मसमादाना, ते कायस्स भेदा परं मरणा सुगतिं सग्गं लोकं उपपन्नाऽति। इति दिब्बेन चक्खुना विसुद्धेन अतिक्कन्तमानुसकेन सत्ते पस्सति चवमाने उपपज्जमाने हीने पणीते सुवण्णे दुब्बण्णे, सुगते दुग्गते यथाकम्मूपगे सत्ते पजानाति।
Dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena satte passati cavamāne upapajjamāne hīne paṇīte suvaṇṇe dubbaṇṇe, sugate duggate yathākammūpage satte pajānāti: ‘ime vata bhonto sattā kāyaduccaritena samannāgatā vacīduccaritena samannāgatā manoduccaritena samannāgatā ariyānaṁ upavādakā micchādiṭṭhikā micchādiṭṭhikammasamādānā, te kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā apāyaṁ duggatiṁ vinipātaṁ nirayaṁ upapannā.

Iti dibbena cakkhunā visuddhena atikkantamānusakena satte passati cavamāne upapajjamāne hīne paṇīte suvaṇṇe dubbaṇṇe, sugate duggate yathākammūpage satte pajānāti.
With clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, they see sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place. They understand how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds: ‘These dear beings did bad things by way of body, speech, and mind. They spoke ill of the noble ones; they had wrong view; and they acted out of that wrong view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a place of loss, a bad place, the underworld, hell. These dear beings, however, did good things by way of body, speech, and mind. They never spoke ill of the noble ones; they had right view; and they acted out of that right view. When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.’ And so, with clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman, they see sentient beings passing away and being reborn—inferior and superior, beautiful and ugly, in a good place or a bad place. They understand how sentient beings are reborn according to their deeds.
आसवानं खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति।
Āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati.
They realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements.
इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, छहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति …पे… अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्सा”ति।
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti …pe… 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.”
