Cut How Many?
සාවත්ථිනිදානං.
At Sāvatthī.
ඒකමන්තං ඨිතා ඛෝ සා දේවතා භගවතෝ සන්තිකේ ඉමං ගාථං අභාසි:
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
“කති ඡින්දේ කති ජහේ, කති චුත්තරි භාවයේ; කති සඞ්ගාතිගෝ භික්ඛු, ඕඝතිණ්ණෝති වුච්චතී”ති.
“Cut how many? Drop how many? Develop how many more? When a bhikkhu slips how many chains are they said to have crossed the flood?”
“පඤ්ච ඡින්දේ පඤ්ච ජහේ, පඤ්ච චුත්තරි භාවයේ; පඤ්ච සඞ්ගාතිගෝ භික්ඛු, ඕඝතිණ්ණෝති වුච්චතී”ති.
“Five to cut, five to drop, and five more to develop. When a bhikkhu slips five chains they’re said to have crossed the flood.”
