A Mound of Salt
एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा सावत्थियं विहरति जेतवने अनाथपिण्डिकस्स आरामे।
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
तेन खो पन समयेन आयस्मा च सारिपुत्तो आयस्मा च महामोग्गल्लानो राजगहे विहरन्ति वेळुवने कलन्दकनिवापे एकविहारे। अथ खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो सायन्हसमयं पटिसल्लाना वुट्ठितो येनायस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा आयस्मता महामोग्गल्लानेन सद्धिं सम्मोदि। सम्मोदनीयं कथं सारणीयं वीतिसारेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो आयस्मन्तं महामोग्गल्लानं एतदवोच:
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ca sāriputto āyasmā ca mahāmoggallāno rājagahe viharanti veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe ekavihāre. Atha kho āyasmā sāriputto sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yenāyasmā mahāmoggallāno tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā mahāmoggallānena saddhiṁ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā sāriputto āyasmantaṁ mahāmoggallānaṁ etadavoca:
At that time Venerables Sāriputta and Moggallāna were staying near Rājagaha, in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground. Then in the late afternoon, Venerable Sāriputta came out of retreat, went to Venerable Moggallāna, and exchanged greetings with him. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, Sāriputta sat down to one side, and said to Mahāmoggallāna:
“विप्पसन्नानि खो ते, आवुसो मोग्गल्लान, इन्द्रियानि; परिसुद्धो मुखवण्णो परियोदातो सन्तेन नूनायस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो अज्ज विहारेन विहासी”ति।
“Vippasannāni kho te, āvuso moggallāna, indriyāni; parisuddho mukhavaṇṇo pariyodāto santena nūnāyasmā mahāmoggallāno ajja vihārena vihāsī”ti.
“Friend Moggallāna, your faculties are so very clear, and your complexion is pure and bright. Have you spent the day in a peaceful meditation?”
“ओळारिकेन ख्वाहं, आवुसो, अज्ज विहारेन विहासिं। अपि च मे अहोसि धम्मी कथा”ति।
“Oḷārikena khvāhaṁ, āvuso, ajja vihārena vihāsiṁ. Api ca me ahosi dhammī kathā”ti.
“Friend, I’ve spent the day in a coarse meditation. But I have had some Dhamma talk.”
“केन सद्धिं पनायस्मतो महामोग्गल्लानस्स अहोसि धम्मी कथा”ति?
“Kena saddhiṁ panāyasmato mahāmoggallānassa ahosi dhammī kathā”ti?
“Who did you have a Dhamma talk with?”
“भगवता खो मे, आवुसो, सद्धिं अहोसि धम्मी कथा”ति।
“Bhagavatā kho me, āvuso, saddhiṁ ahosi dhammī kathā”ti.
“With the Buddha.”
“दूरे खो, आवुसो, भगवा एतरहि सावत्थियं विहरति जेतवने अनाथपिण्डिकस्स आरामे। किं नु खो आयस्मा महामोग्गल्लानो भगवन्तं इद्धिया उपसङ्कमि; उदाहु भगवा आयस्मन्तं महामोग्गल्लानं इद्धिया उपसङ्कमी”ति?
“Dūre kho, āvuso, bhagavā etarahi sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Kiṁ nu kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno bhagavantaṁ iddhiyā upasaṅkami; udāhu bhagavā āyasmantaṁ mahāmoggallānaṁ iddhiyā upasaṅkamī”ti?
“But Friend, the Buddha is far away. He’s staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. Did you go to him with your psychic power, or did he come to you?”
“न ख्वाहं, आवुसो, भगवन्तं इद्धिया उपसङ्कमिं; नपि मं भगवा इद्धिया उपसङ्कमि। अपि च मे यावता भगवा एत्तावता दिब्बचक्खु विसुज्झि दिब्बा च सोतधातु। भगवतोपि यावताहं एत्तावता दिब्बचक्खु विसुज्झि दिब्बा च सोतधातू”ति।
“Na khvāhaṁ, āvuso, bhagavantaṁ iddhiyā upasaṅkamiṁ; napi maṁ bhagavā iddhiyā upasaṅkami. Api ca me yāvatā bhagavā ettāvatā dibbacakkhu visujjhi dibbā ca sotadhātu. Bhagavatopi yāvatāhaṁ ettāvatā dibbacakkhu visujjhi dibbā ca sotadhātū”ti.
“No friend, I didn’t go to him with my psychic power, nor did he come to me. Rather, the Buddha cleared his clairvoyance and clairaudience towards me, and I cleared my clairvoyance and clairaudience towards him.”
“यथाकथं पनायस्मतो महामोग्गल्लानस्स भगवता सद्धिं अहोसि धम्मी कथा”ति?
“Yathākathaṁ panāyasmato mahāmoggallānassa bhagavatā saddhiṁ ahosi dhammī kathā”ti?
“But what manner of Dhamma talk did you have together?”
“इधाहं, आवुसो, भगवन्तं एतदवोचं: ‘आरद्धवीरियो आरद्धवीरियोति, भन्ते, वुच्चति। कित्तावता नु खो, भन्ते, आरद्धवीरियो होतीऽति?
“Idhāhaṁ, āvuso, bhagavantaṁ etadavocaṁ: ‘āraddhavīriyo āraddhavīriyoti, bhante, vuccati. Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, āraddhavīriyo hotī’ti?
“Well, friend, I said to the Buddha, ‘Sir, they speak of one who is energetic. How is an energetic person defined?’
एवं वुत्ते, मं, आवुसो, भगवा एतदवोच: ‘इध, मोग्गल्लान, भिक्खु आरद्धवीरियो विहरति—कामं तचो च न्हारु च अट्ठि च अवसिस्सतु, सरीरे उपस्सुस्सतु मंसलोहितं, यं तं पुरिसथामेन पुरिसवीरियेन पुरिसपरक्कमेन पत्तब्बं न तं अपापुणित्वा वीरियस्स सण्ठानं भविस्सतीति। एवं खो, मोग्गल्लान, आरद्धवीरियो होतीऽति।
Evaṁ vutte, maṁ, āvuso, bhagavā etadavoca: ‘idha, moggallāna, bhikkhu āraddhavīriyo viharati—kāmaṁ taco ca nhāru ca aṭṭhi ca avasissatu, sarīre upassussatu maṁsalohitaṁ, yaṁ taṁ purisathāmena purisavīriyena purisaparakkamena pattabbaṁ na taṁ apāpuṇitvā vīriyassa saṇṭhānaṁ bhavissatīti. Evaṁ kho, moggallāna, āraddhavīriyo hotī’ti.
When I said this, the Buddha said, ‘Moggallāna, it’s when a bhikkhu lives with energy roused up: “Gladly, let only skin, sinews, and bones remain! Let the flesh and blood waste away in my body! I will not stop trying until I have achieved what is possible by human strength, energy, and vigor.” That’s how a person is energetic.’
एवं खो मे, आवुसो, भगवता सद्धिं अहोसि धम्मी कथा”ति।
Evaṁ kho me, āvuso, bhagavatā saddhiṁ ahosi dhammī kathā”ti.
That’s the Dhamma talk I had together with the Buddha.”
“सेय्यथापि, आवुसो, हिमवतो पब्बतराजस्स परित्ता पासाणसक्खरा यावदेव उपनिक्खेपनमत्ताय; एवमेव खो मयं आयस्मतो महामोग्गल्लानस्स यावदेव उपनिक्खेपनमत्ताय। आयस्मा हि महामोग्गल्लानो महिद्धिको महानुभावो आकङ्खमानो कप्पं तिट्ठेय्या”ति।
“Seyyathāpi, āvuso, himavato pabbatarājassa parittā pāsāṇasakkharā yāvadeva upanikkhepanamattāya; evameva kho mayaṁ āyasmato mahāmoggallānassa yāvadeva upanikkhepanamattāya. Āyasmā hi mahāmoggallāno mahiddhiko mahānubhāvo ākaṅkhamāno kappaṁ tiṭṭheyyā”ti.
“Friend, next to Venerable Mahāmoggallāna I’m like a few pieces of gravel next to the Himalayas, the king of mountains. Venerable Mahāmoggallāna is so mighty and powerful he could, if he wished, live on for the proper lifespan.”
“सेय्यथापि, आवुसो, महतिया लोणघटाय परित्ता लोणसक्खराय यावदेव उपनिक्खेपनमत्ताय; एवमेव खो मयं आयस्मतो सारिपुत्तस्स यावदेव उपनिक्खेपनमत्ताय। आयस्मा हि सारिपुत्तो भगवता अनेकपरियायेन थोमितो वण्णितो पसत्थो:
“Seyyathāpi, āvuso, mahatiyā loṇaghaṭāya parittā loṇasakkharāya yāvadeva upanikkhepanamattāya; evameva kho mayaṁ āyasmato sāriputtassa yāvadeva upanikkhepanamattāya. Āyasmā hi sāriputto bhagavatā anekapariyāyena thomito vaṇṇito pasattho:
“Friend, next to Venerable Sāriputta I’m like a few grains of salt next to a mound of salt. Venerable Sāriputta has been commended, complimented, and praised by the Buddha:
‘सारिपुत्तोव पञ्ञाय, सीलेन उपसमेन च; योपि पारङ्गतो भिक्खु, एतावपरमो सियाऽ”ति।
‘Sāriputtova paññāya, sīlena upasamena ca; Yopi pāraṅgato bhikkhu, etāvaparamo siyā’”ti.
‘Sāriputta is full of wisdom, ethics, and peace. Even a bhikkhu who has crossed over might at best equal him.’”
इतिह ते उभो महानागा अञ्ञमञ्ञस्स सुभासितं सुलपितं समनुमोदिंसूति।
Itiha te ubho mahānāgā aññamaññassa subhāsitaṁ sulapitaṁ samanumodiṁsūti.
And so these two spiritual giants agreed with each others’ fine words.
ततियं।
Tatiyaṁ.
