    With Kokālika

    सावत्थिनिदानं।

    Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

    At Sāvatthī.

    अथ खो कोकालिको भिक्खु येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो कोकालिको भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “पापिच्छा, भन्ते, सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लाना पापिकानं इच्छानं वसं गता”ति।

    Atha kho kokāliko bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho kokāliko bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “pāpicchā, bhante, sāriputtamoggallānā pāpikānaṁ icchānaṁ vasaṁ gatā”ti.

    Then the bhikkhu Kokālika went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him, “Sir, Sāriputta and Moggallāna have corrupt wishes. They’ve fallen under the sway of corrupt wishes.”

    एवं वुत्ते, भगवा कोकालिकं भिक्खुं एतदवोच: “मा हेवं, कोकालिक, अवच; मा हेवं, कोकालिक, अवच। पसादेहि, कोकालिक, सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानेसु चित्तं। पेसला सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लाना”ति।

    Evaṁ vutte, bhagavā kokālikaṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca: “mā hevaṁ, kokālika, avaca; mā hevaṁ, kokālika, avaca. Pasādehi, kokālika, sāriputtamoggallānesu cittaṁ. Pesalā sāriputtamoggallānā”ti.

    When this was said, the Buddha said to Kokālika, “Don’t say that, Kokālika! Don’t say that, Kokālika! Have confidence in Sāriputta and Moggallāna, they’re good monks.”

    दुतियम्पि खो कोकालिको भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “किञ्चापि मे, भन्ते, भगवा सद्धायिको पच्चयिको; अथ खो पापिच्छाव भन्ते, सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लाना पापिकानं इच्छानं वसं गता”ति।

    Dutiyampi kho kokāliko bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “kiñcāpi me, bhante, bhagavā saddhāyiko paccayiko; atha kho pāpicchāva bhante, sāriputtamoggallānā pāpikānaṁ icchānaṁ vasaṁ gatā”ti.

    For a second time Kokālika said to the Buddha, “Despite my faith and trust in the Buddha, Sāriputta and Moggallāna have corrupt wishes. They’ve fallen under the sway of corrupt wishes.”

    दुतियम्पि खो भगवा कोकालिकं भिक्खुं एतदवोच: “मा हेवं, कोकालिक, अवच; मा हेवं, कोकालिक, अवच। पसादेहि, कोकालिक, सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानेसु चित्तं। पेसला सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लाना”ति।

    Dutiyampi kho bhagavā kokālikaṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca: “mā hevaṁ, kokālika, avaca; mā hevaṁ, kokālika, avaca. Pasādehi, kokālika, sāriputtamoggallānesu cittaṁ. Pesalā sāriputtamoggallānā”ti.

    For a second time, the Buddha said to Kokālika, “Don’t say that, Kokālika! Don’t say that, Kokālika! Have confidence in Sāriputta and Moggallāna, they’re good monks.”

    ततियम्पि खो कोकालिको भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “किञ्चापि …पे… इच्छानं वसं गता”ति।

    Tatiyampi kho kokāliko bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “kiñcāpi …pe… icchānaṁ vasaṁ gatā”ti.

    For a third time Kokālika said to the Buddha, “Despite my faith and trust in the Buddha, Sāriputta and Moggallāna have corrupt wishes. They’ve fallen under the sway of corrupt wishes.”

    ततियम्पि खो भगवा कोकालिकं भिक्खुं एतदवोच: “मा हेवं …पे… पेसला सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लाना”ति।

    Tatiyampi kho bhagavā kokālikaṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca: “mā hevaṁ …pe… pesalā sāriputtamoggallānā”ti.

    For a third time, the Buddha said to Kokālika, “Don’t say that, Kokālika! Don’t say that, Kokālika! Have confidence in Sāriputta and Moggallāna, they’re good monks.”

    अथ खो कोकालिको भिक्खु उट्ठायासना भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा पदक्खिणं कत्वा पक्कामि। अचिरपक्कन्तस्स च कोकालिकस्स भिक्खुनो सासपमत्तीहि पीळकाहि सब्बो कायो फुटो अहोसि। सासपमत्तियो हुत्वा मुग्गमत्तियो अहेसुं, मुग्गमत्तियो हुत्वा कलायमत्तियो अहेसुं, कलायमत्तियो हुत्वा कोलट्ठिमत्तियो अहेसुं, कोलट्ठिमत्तियो हुत्वा कोलमत्तियो अहेसुं, कोलमत्तियो हुत्वा आमलकमत्तियो अहेसुं, आमलकमत्तियो हुत्वा बेलुवसलाटुकमत्तियो अहेसुं, बेलुवसलाटुकमत्तियो हुत्वा बिल्लमत्तियो अहेसुं, बिल्लमत्तियो हुत्वा पभिज्जिंसु। पुब्बञ्च लोहितञ्च पग्घरिंसु। अथ खो कोकालिको भिक्खु तेनेव आबाधेन कालमकासि। कालङ्कतो च कोकालिको भिक्खु पदुमं निरयं उपपज्जि सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानेसु चित्तं आघातेत्वा।

    Atha kho kokāliko bhikkhu uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi. Acirapakkantassa ca kokālikassa bhikkhuno sāsapamattīhi pīḷakāhi1 sabbo kāyo phuṭo ahosi. Sāsapamattiyo hutvā muggamattiyo ahesuṁ, muggamattiyo hutvā kalāyamattiyo ahesuṁ, kalāyamattiyo hutvā kolaṭṭhimattiyo ahesuṁ, kolaṭṭhimattiyo hutvā kolamattiyo ahesuṁ, kolamattiyo hutvā āmalakamattiyo ahesuṁ, āmalakamattiyo hutvā beluvasalāṭukamattiyo ahesuṁ, beluvasalāṭukamattiyo hutvā billamattiyo ahesuṁ, billamattiyo hutvā pabhijjiṁsu. Pubbañca lohitañca pagghariṁsu. Atha kho kokāliko bhikkhu teneva ābādhena kālamakāsi. Kālaṅkato ca kokāliko bhikkhu padumaṁ nirayaṁ upapajji sāriputtamoggallānesu cittaṁ āghātetvā.

    Then Kokālika got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving. Not long after he left his body erupted with boils the size of mustard seeds. The boils grew to the size of mung beans, then chickpeas, then jujube seeds, then jujubes, then myrobalans, then unripe wood apples, then ripe wood apples. Finally they burst open, and pus and blood oozed out. Then the bhikkhu Kokālika died of that illness. He was reborn in the Pink Lotus hell because of his resentment for Sāriputta and Moggallāna.

    अथ खो ब्रह्मा सहम्पति अभिक्कन्ताय रत्तिया अभिक्कन्तवण्णो केवलकप्पं जेतवनं ओभासेत्वा येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं अट्ठासि। एकमन्तं ठितो खो ब्रह्मा सहम्पति भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “कोकालिको, भन्ते, भिक्खु कालङ्कतो। कालङ्कतो च, भन्ते, कोकालिको भिक्खु पदुमं निरयं उपपन्नो सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानेसु चित्तं आघातेत्वा”ति।

    Atha kho brahmā sahampati abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇo kevalakappaṁ jetavanaṁ obhāsetvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho brahmā sahampati bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “kokāliko, bhante, bhikkhu kālaṅkato. Kālaṅkato ca, bhante, kokāliko bhikkhu padumaṁ nirayaṁ upapanno sāriputtamoggallānesu cittaṁ āghātetvā”ti.

    Then, late at night, the beautiful Brahmā Sahampati, lighting up the entire Jeta’s Grove, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him, “Sir, the bhikkhu Kokālika has passed away. He was reborn in the Pink Lotus hell because of his resentment for Sāriputta and Moggallāna.”

    इदमवोच ब्रह्मा सहम्पति। इदं वत्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा पदक्खिणं कत्वा तत्थेवन्तरधायीति।

    Idamavoca brahmā sahampati. Idaṁ vatvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā tatthevantaradhāyīti.

    That’s what Brahmā Sahampati said. Then he bowed and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right side, before vanishing right there.

    अथ खो भगवा तस्सा रत्तिया अच्चयेन भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “इमं, भिक्खवे, रत्तिं ब्रह्मा सहम्पति अभिक्कन्ताय रत्तिया अभिक्कन्तवण्णो केवलकप्पं जेतवनं ओभासेत्वा येनाहं तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा मं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं अट्ठासि। एकमन्तं ठितो खो, भिक्खवे, ब्रह्मा सहम्पति मं एतदवोच: ‘कोकालिको, भन्ते, भिक्खु कालङ्कतो। कालङ्कतो च, भन्ते, कोकालिको भिक्खु पदुमं निरयं उपपन्नो सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानेसु चित्तं आघातेत्वाऽति।

    Atha kho bhagavā tassā rattiyā accayena bhikkhū āmantesi: “imaṁ, bhikkhave, rattiṁ brahmā sahampati abhikkantāya rattiyā abhikkantavaṇṇo kevalakappaṁ jetavanaṁ obhāsetvā yenāhaṁ tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā maṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho, bhikkhave, brahmā sahampati maṁ etadavoca: ‘kokāliko, bhante, bhikkhu kālaṅkato. Kālaṅkato ca, bhante, kokāliko bhikkhu padumaṁ nirayaṁ upapanno sāriputtamoggallānesu cittaṁ āghātetvā’ti.

    Then, when the night had passed, the Buddha told the bhikkhus all that had happened.

    इदमवोच, भिक्खवे, ब्रह्मा सहम्पति, इदं वत्वा मं अभिवादेत्वा पदक्खिणं कत्वा तत्थेवन्तरधायी”ति।

    Idamavoca, bhikkhave, brahmā sahampati, idaṁ vatvā maṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā tatthevantaradhāyī”ti.

    एवं वुत्ते, अञ्ञतरो भिक्खु भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “कीवदीघं नु खो, भन्ते, पदुमे निरये आयुप्पमाणन्”ति?

    Evaṁ vutte, aññataro bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “kīvadīghaṁ nu kho, bhante, padume niraye āyuppamāṇan”ti?

    When he said this, one of the bhikkhus asked the Buddha, “Sir, how long is the life span in the Pink Lotus hell?”

    “दीघं खो, भिक्खु, पदुमे निरये आयुप्पमाणं। तं न सुकरं सङ्खातुं: ‘एत्तकानि वस्सानि इति वा, एत्तकानि वस्ससतानि इति वा, एत्तकानि वस्ससहस्सानि इति वा, एत्तकानि वस्ससतसहस्सानि इति वाऽ”ति।

    “Dīghaṁ kho, bhikkhu, padume niraye āyuppamāṇaṁ. Taṁ na sukaraṁ saṅkhātuṁ: ‘ettakāni vassāni iti vā, ettakāni vassasatāni iti vā, ettakāni vassasahassāni iti vā, ettakāni vassasatasahassāni iti vā’”ti.

    “It’s long, bhikkhu. It’s not easy to calculate how many years, how many hundreds or thousands or hundreds of thousands of years it lasts.”

    “सक्का पन, भन्ते, उपमं कातुन्”ति?

    “Sakkā pana, bhante, upamaṁ kātun”ti?

    “But sir, is it possible to give a simile?”

    “सक्का, भिक्खू”ति भगवा अवोच:

    “Sakkā, bhikkhū”ti bhagavā avoca:

    “It’s possible,” said the Buddha.

    “सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु वीसतिखारिको कोसलको तिलवाहो। ततो पुरिसो वस्ससतस्स वस्ससतस्स अच्चयेन एकमेकं तिलं उद्धरेय्य; खिप्पतरं खो सो, भिक्खु, वीसतिखारिको कोसलको तिलवाहो इमिना उपक्कमेन परिक्खयं परियादानं गच्छेय्य, न त्वेव एको अब्बुदो निरयो।

    “Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu vīsatikhāriko kosalako tilavāho. Tato puriso vassasatassa vassasatassa accayena ekamekaṁ tilaṁ uddhareyya; khippataraṁ kho so, bhikkhu, vīsatikhāriko kosalako tilavāho iminā upakkamena parikkhayaṁ pariyādānaṁ gaccheyya, na tveva eko abbudo nirayo.

    “Suppose there was a Kosalan cartload of twenty bushels of sesame seed. And at the end of every hundred years someone would remove a single seed from it. By this means the Kosalan cartload of twenty bushels of sesame seed would run out faster than a single lifetime in the Abbuda hell.

    सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति अब्बुदा निरया, एवमेको निरब्बुदनिरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति निरब्बुदा निरया, एवमेको अबबो निरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति अबबा निरया, एवमेको अटटो निरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति अटटा निरया, एवमेको अहहो निरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति अहहा निरया, एवमेको कुमुदो निरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति कुमुदा निरया, एवमेको सोगन्धिको निरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति सोगन्धिका निरया, एवमेको उप्पलनिरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति उप्पला निरया, एवमेको पुण्डरिको निरयो। सेय्यथापि, भिक्खु, वीसति पुण्डरिका निरया, एवमेको पदुमो निरयो।

    Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati abbudā nirayā, evameko nirabbudanirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati nirabbudā nirayā, evameko ababo nirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati ababā nirayā, evameko aṭaṭo nirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati aṭaṭā nirayā, evameko ahaho nirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati ahahā nirayā, evameko kumudo nirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati kumudā nirayā, evameko sogandhiko nirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati sogandhikā nirayā, evameko uppalanirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati uppalā nirayā, evameko puṇḍariko nirayo. Seyyathāpi, bhikkhu, vīsati puṇḍarikā nirayā, evameko padumo nirayo.

    Now, twenty lifetimes in the Abbuda hell equal one lifetime in the Nirabbuda hell. Twenty lifetimes in the Nirabbuda hell equal one lifetime in the Ababa hell. Twenty lifetimes in the Ababa hell equal one lifetime in the Aṭaṭa hell. Twenty lifetimes in the Aṭaṭa hell equal one lifetime in the Ahaha hell. Twenty lifetimes in the Ahaha hell equal one lifetime in the Yellow Lotus hell. Twenty lifetimes in the Yellow Lotus hell equal one lifetime in the Sweet-Smelling hell. Twenty lifetimes in the Sweet-Smelling hell equal one lifetime in the Blue Water Lily hell. Twenty lifetimes in the Blue Water Lily hell equal one lifetime in the White Lotus hell. Twenty lifetimes in the White Lotus hell equal one lifetime in the Pink Lotus hell.

    पदुमे पन, भिक्खु, निरये कोकालिको भिक्खु उपपन्नो सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानेसु चित्तं आघातेत्वा”ति।

    Padume pana, bhikkhu, niraye kokāliko bhikkhu upapanno sāriputtamoggallānesu cittaṁ āghātetvā”ti.

    The bhikkhu Kokālika has been reborn in the Pink Lotus hell because of his resentment for Sāriputta and Moggallāna.”

    इदमवोच भगवा। इदं वत्वान सुगतो अथापरं एतदवोच सत्था:

    Idamavoca bhagavā. Idaṁ vatvāna sugato athāparaṁ etadavoca satthā:

    That is what the Buddha said. Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:

    “पुरिसस्स हि जातस्स, कुठारी जायते मुखे; याय छिन्दति अत्तानं, बालो दुब्भासितं भणं।

    “Purisassa hi jātassa, kuṭhārī jāyate mukhe; Yāya chindati attānaṁ, bālo dubbhāsitaṁ bhaṇaṁ.

    “A man is born with an axe in his mouth. A fool cuts themselves with it when they say bad words.

    यो निन्दियं पसंसति, तं वा निन्दति यो पसंसियो; विचिनाति मुखेन सो कलिं, कलिना तेन सुखं न विन्दति।

    Yo nindiyaṁ pasaṁsati, Taṁ vā nindati yo pasaṁsiyo; Vicināti mukhena so kaliṁ, Kalinā tena sukhaṁ na vindati.

    When you praise someone worthy of criticism, or criticize someone worthy of praise, you choose bad luck with your own mouth: you’ll never find happiness that way.

    अप्पमत्तको अयं कलि, यो अक्खेसु धनपराजयो; सब्बस्सापि सहापि अत्तना, अयमेव महन्तरो कलि; यो सुगतेसु मनं पदोसये।

    Appamattako ayaṁ kali, Yo akkhesu dhanaparājayo; Sabbassāpi sahāpi attanā, Ayameva mahantaro kali; Yo sugatesu manaṁ padosaye.

    Bad luck at dice is a trivial thing, if all you lose is your money and all you own, even yourself. What’s really terrible luck is to hate the holy ones.

    सतं सहस्सानं निरब्बुदानं, छत्तिंसति पञ्च च अब्बुदानि; यमरियगरही निरयं उपेति, वाचं मनञ्च पणिधाय पापकन्”ति।

    Sataṁ sahassānaṁ nirabbudānaṁ, Chattiṁsati pañca ca abbudāni; Yamariyagarahī nirayaṁ upeti, Vācaṁ manañca paṇidhāya pāpakan”ti.

    For more than two quinquadecillion years, and another five quattuordecillion years, a slanderer of noble ones goes to hell, having aimed bad words and thoughts at them.”

    पठमो वग्गो।

    Paṭhamo vaggo.

    तस्सुद्दानं

    Tassuddānaṁ

    आयाचनं गारवो ब्रह्मदेवो, बको च ब्रह्मा अपरा च दिट्ठि; पमादकोकालिकतिस्सको च, तुरू च ब्रह्मा अपरो च कोकालिकोति।

    Āyācanaṁ gāravo brahmadevo, Bako ca brahmā aparā ca diṭṭhi; Pamādakokālikatissako ca, Turū ca brahmā aparo ca kokālikoti.
