The Sound of Singing
“पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, आदीनवा आयतकेन गीतस्सरेन धम्मं भणन्तस्स। कतमे पञ्च? अत्तनापि तस्मिं सरे सारज्जति, परेपि तस्मिं सरे सारज्जन्ति, गहपतिकापि उज्झायन्ति: ‘यथेव मयं गायाम, एवमेवं खो समणा सक्यपुत्तिया गायन्तीऽति, सरकुत्तिम्पि निकामयमानस्स समाधिस्स भङ्गो होति, पच्छिमा जनता दिट्ठानुगतिं आपज्जति। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आदीनवा आयतकेन गीतस्सरेन धम्मं भणन्तस्सा”ति।
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā āyatakena gītassarena dhammaṁ bhaṇantassa. Katame pañca? Attanāpi tasmiṁ sare sārajjati, parepi tasmiṁ sare sārajjanti, gahapatikāpi ujjhāyanti: ‘yatheva mayaṁ gāyāma, evamevaṁ kho samaṇā sakyaputtiyā gāyantī’ti, sarakuttimpi nikāmayamānassa samādhissa bhaṅgo hoti, pacchimā janatā diṭṭhānugatiṁ āpajjati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā āyatakena gītassarena dhammaṁ bhaṇantassā”ti.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks in reciting with a drawn-out singing voice. What five? You relish the sound of your own voice. Others relish the sound of your voice. Householders complain: ‘These ascetics, followers of the Sakyan, sing just like us!’ When you’re enjoying the melody, your immersion breaks up. Those who come after follow your example. These are the five drawbacks in reciting with a drawn-out singing voice.”
