सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, हिमवा पब्बतराजा परिक्खयं परियादानं गच्छेय्य, ठपेत्वा सत्त सासपमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, himavā pabbatarājā parikkhayaṁ pariyādānaṁ gaccheyya, ṭhapetvā satta sāsapamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā.
“Bhikkhus, suppose the Himalayas, the king of mountains, was worn away and eroded except for seven pebbles the size of mustard seeds.
तं किं मञ्ञथ, भिक्खवे, कतमं नु खो बहुतरं, यं वा हिमवतो पब्बतराजस्स परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं या वा सत्त सासपमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा अवसिट्ठा”ति?
Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ, yaṁ vā himavato pabbatarājassa parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ yā vā satta sāsapamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā avasiṭṭhā”ti?
What do you think, bhikkhus? Which is more: the portion of the Himalayas, the king of mountains, that has been worn away and eroded, or the seven pebbles the size of mustard seeds that are left?”
“एतदेव, भन्ते, बहुतरं हिमवतो पब्बतराजस्स यदिदं परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं; अप्पमत्तिका सत्त सासपमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा अवसिट्ठा। नेव सतिमं कलं उपेन्ति न सहस्सिमं कलं उपेन्ति न सतसहस्सिमं कलं उपेन्ति हिमवतो पब्बतराजस्स परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं उपनिधाय सत्त सासपमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा अवसिट्ठा”ति।
“Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ himavato pabbatarājassa yadidaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ; appamattikā satta sāsapamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā avasiṭṭhā. Neva satimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na sahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na satasahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti himavato pabbatarājassa parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ upanidhāya satta sāsapamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā avasiṭṭhā”ti.
“Sir, the portion of the Himalayas, the king of mountains, that has been worn away and eroded is certainly more. The seven pebbles the size of mustard seeds are tiny. Compared to the Himalayas, it’s not nearly a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred thousandth part.”
“एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, अरियसावकस्स दिट्ठिसम्पन्नस्स पुग्गलस्स अभिसमेताविनो एतदेव बहुतरं दुक्खं यदिदं परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं; अप्पमत्तकं अवसिट्ठं। नेव सतिमं कलं उपेति न सहस्सिमं कलं उपेति न सतसहस्सिमं कलं उपेति पुरिमं दुक्खक्खन्धं परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं उपनिधाय यदिदं सत्तक्खत्तुंपरमता। एवं महत्थियो खो, भिक्खवे, धम्माभिसमयो, एवं महत्थियो धम्मचक्खुपटिलाभो”ति।
“Evameva kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvakassa diṭṭhisampannassa puggalassa abhisametāvino etadeva bahutaraṁ dukkhaṁ yadidaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ; appamattakaṁ avasiṭṭhaṁ. Neva satimaṁ kalaṁ upeti na sahassimaṁ kalaṁ upeti na satasahassimaṁ kalaṁ upeti purimaṁ dukkhakkhandhaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ upanidhāya yadidaṁ sattakkhattuṁparamatā. Evaṁ mahatthiyo kho, bhikkhave, dhammābhisamayo, evaṁ mahatthiyo dhammacakkhupaṭilābho”ti.
“In the same way, for a noble disciple accomplished in view, a person with comprehension, the suffering that’s over and done with is more, what’s left is tiny. Compared to the mass of suffering in the past that’s over and done with, it’s not nearly a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred thousandth part, since there are at most seven more lives. That’s how very beneficial it is to comprehend the teaching and gain the vision of the teaching.”
