Where the Waters Flow Together (2nd)
सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, यत्थिमा महानदियो संसन्दन्ति समेन्ति, सेय्यथिदं—गङ्गा यमुना अचिरवती सरभू मही, तं उदकं परिक्खयं परियादानं गच्छेय्य ठपेत्वा द्वे वा तीणि वा उदकफुसितानि।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, yatthimā mahānadiyo saṁsandanti samenti, seyyathidaṁ—gaṅgā yamunā aciravatī sarabhū mahī, taṁ udakaṁ parikkhayaṁ pariyādānaṁ gaccheyya ṭhapetvā dve vā tīṇi vā udakaphusitāni.
“Bhikkhus, there are places where the great rivers—the Ganges, Yamuna, Aciravatī, Sarabhū, and Mahī—come together and converge. Suppose that water dried up and evaporated except for two or three drops.
तं किं मञ्ञथ, भिक्खवे, कतमं नु खो बहुतरं, यं वा सम्भेज्जौदकं परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं यानि वा द्वे वा तीणि वा उदकफुसितानि अवसिट्ठानी”ति?
Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ, yaṁ vā sambhejjaudakaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ yāni vā dve vā tīṇi vā udakaphusitāni avasiṭṭhānī”ti?
What do you think, bhikkhus? Which is more: the water in the confluence that has dried up and evaporated, or the two or three drops left?”
“एतदेव, भन्ते, बहुतरं सम्भेज्जौदकं यदिदं परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं; अप्पमत्तकानि द्वे वा तीणि वा उदकफुसितानि अवसिट्ठानि। नेव सतिमं कलं उपेन्ति न सहस्सिमं कलं उपेन्ति न सतसहस्सिमं कलं उपेन्ति सम्भेज्जौदकं परिक्खीणं परियादिण्णं उपनिधाय द्वे वा तीणि वा उदकफुसितानि अवसिट्ठानी”ति।
“Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ sambhejjaudakaṁ yadidaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ; appamattakāni dve vā tīṇi vā udakaphusitāni avasiṭṭhāni. Neva satimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na sahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti na satasahassimaṁ kalaṁ upenti sambhejjaudakaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādiṇṇaṁ upanidhāya dve vā tīṇi vā udakaphusitāni avasiṭṭhānī”ti.
“Sir, the water in the confluence that has dried up and evaporated is certainly more. The two or three drops left are tiny. Compared to the water in the confluence that has dried up and evaporated, it’s not nearly a hundredth, a thousandth, or a hundred thousandth part.”
“एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे …पे… धम्मचक्खुपटिलाभो”ति।
“Evameva kho, bhikkhave …pe… dhammacakkhupaṭilābho”ti.
“In the same way, for a noble disciple, the suffering that’s over and done with is more …”
चतुत्थं।
Catutthaṁ.
