Koṭṭhikasutta
With Koṭṭhita
अथ खो आयस्मा महाकोट्ठिको येनायस्मा सारिपुत्तो तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा आयस्मता सारिपुत्तेन सद्धिं सम्मोदि। सम्मोदनीयं कथं सारणीयं वीतिसारेत्वा एकमन्तं निसीदि। एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो आयस्मा महाकोट्ठिको आयस्मन्तं सारिपुत्तं एतदवोच:
Atha kho āyasmā mahākoṭṭhiko1 yenāyasmā sāriputto tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā sāriputtena saddhiṁ sammodi. Sammodanīyaṁ kathaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ vītisāretvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā mahākoṭṭhiko āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ etadavoca:
Then Venerable Mahākoṭṭhita went up to Venerable Sāriputta, and exchanged greetings with him. When the greetings and polite conversation were over, he sat down to one side and said to Sāriputta:
“किं नु खो, आवुसो सारिपुत्त, ‘यं कम्मं दिट्ठधम्मवेदनीयं, तं मे कम्मं सम्परायवेदनीयं होतूऽति, एतस्स अत्थाय भगवति ब्रह्मचरियं वुस्सती”ति?

When you were asked whether the spiritual life was lived under the Buddha so that deeds not to be experienced are experienced, you said, ‘Certainly not.’ Then what exactly is the purpose of leading the spiritual life under the Buddha?”
“यं ख्वस्स, आवुसो, अञ्ञातं अदिट्ठं अप्पत्तं असच्छिकतं अनभिसमेतं, तस्स ञाणाय दस्सनाय पत्तिया सच्छिकिरियाय अभिसमयाय भगवति ब्रह्मचरियं वुस्सतीति।

“Friend, the spiritual life is lived under the Buddha to know, see, attain, realize, and comprehend that which is unknown, unseen, unattained, unrealized, and uncomprehended.”
किं पनस्सावुसो, अञ्ञातं अदिट्ठं अप्पत्तं असच्छिकतं अनभिसमेतं, यस्स ञाणाय दस्सनाय पत्तिया सच्छिकिरियाय अभिसमयाय भगवति ब्रह्मचरियं वुस्सतीति?

“‘This is suffering.’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering.’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering.’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering.’ … This is the unknown, unseen, unattained, unrealized, and uncomprehended. The spiritual life is lived under the Buddha to know, see, attain, realize, and comprehend this.”
