दुतियसिनेरुपब्बतराजसुत्त
Dutiyasinerupabbatarājasutta
Sineru, King of Mountains (2nd)
“सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, सिनेरुपब्बतराजायं परिक्खयं परियादानं गच्छेय्य, ठपेत्वा सत्त मुग्गमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा।
“Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, sinerupabbatarājāyaṁ parikkhayaṁ pariyādānaṁ gaccheyya, ṭhapetvā satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā.
“Bhikkhus, suppose Sineru, 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 सिनेरुस्स पब्बतराजस्स परिक्खीणं परियादिन्नं, या वा सत्त मुग्गमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा अवसिट्ठा”ति?
Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave, katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ—yaṁ vā sinerussa pabbatarājassa parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādinnaṁ, yā vā satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā avasiṭṭhā”ti?
What do you think, bhikkhus? Which is more: the portion of Sineru, 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 सिनेरुस्स पब्बतराजस्स यदिदं परिक्खीणं परियादिन्नं; अप्पमत्तिका सत्त मुग्गमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा अवसिट्ठा। सङ्खम्पि न उपेन्ति, उपनिधम्पि न उपेन्ति, कलभागम्पि न उपेन्ति सिनेरुस्स पब्बतराजस्स परिक्खीणं परियादिन्नं उपनिधाय सत्त मुग्गमत्तियो पासाणसक्खरा अवसिट्ठा”ति।
“Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ sinerussa pabbatarājassa yadidaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādinnaṁ; appamattikā satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā avasiṭṭhā. Saṅkhampi na upenti, upanidhampi na upenti, kalabhāgampi na upenti sinerussa pabbatarājassa parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādinnaṁ upanidhāya satta muggamattiyo pāsāṇasakkharā avasiṭṭhā”ti.
“Sir, the portion of Sineru, 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 Sineru, they don’t count, there’s no comparison, they’re not worth a fraction.”
“एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, अरियसावकस्स दिट्ठिसम्पन्नस्स पुग्गलस्स अभिसमेताविनो एतदेव बहुतरं दुक्खं यदिदं परिक्खीणं परियादिन्नं; अप्पमत्तकं अवसिट्ठं। सङ्खम्पि न उपेति, उपनिधम्पि न उपेति, कलभागम्पि न उपेति, पुरिमं दुक्खक्खन्धं परिक्खीणं परियादिन्नं उपनिधाय यदिदं सत्तक्खत्तुपरमता; यो ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति।
“Evameva kho, bhikkhave, ariyasāvakassa diṭṭhisampannassa puggalassa abhisametāvino etadeva bahutaraṁ dukkhaṁ yadidaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādinnaṁ; appamattakaṁ avasiṭṭhaṁ. Saṅkhampi na upeti, upanidhampi na upeti, kalabhāgampi na upeti, purimaṁ dukkhakkhandhaṁ parikkhīṇaṁ pariyādinnaṁ upanidhāya yadidaṁ sattakkhattuparamatā; yo ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti.
“In the same way, for a person with comprehension, a noble disciple accomplished in view, 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 doesn’t count, there’s no comparison, it’s not worth a fraction, since there are at most seven more lives. Such a person truly understands about suffering, its origin, its cessation, and the path.
तस्मातिह, भिक्खवे, ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति योगो करणीयो …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति योगो करणीयो”ति।
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yogo karaṇīyo …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yogo karaṇīyo”ti.
That’s why you should practice meditation …”
