“नवहि, भिक्खवे, अङ्गेहि समन्नागतं कुलं अनुपगन्त्वा वा नालं उपगन्तुं, उपगन्त्वा वा नालं निसीदितुं। कतमेहि नवहि? न मनापेन पच्चुट्ठेन्ति, न मनापेन अभिवादेन्ति, न मनापेन आसनं देन्ति, सन्तमस्स परिगुहन्ति, बहुकम्पि थोकं देन्ति, पणीतम्पि लूखं देन्ति, असक्कच्चं देन्ति नो सक्कच्चं, न उपनिसीदन्ति धम्मस्सवनाय, भासितमस्स न सुस्सूसन्ति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, नवहङ्गेहि समन्नागतं कुलं अनुपगन्त्वा वा नालं उपगन्तुं उपगन्त्वा वा नालं निसीदितुं।
“Navahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā nālaṁ upagantuṁ, upagantvā vā nālaṁ nisīdituṁ. Katamehi navahi? Na manāpena paccuṭṭhenti, na manāpena abhivādenti, na manāpena āsanaṁ denti, santamassa pariguhanti, bahukampi thokaṁ denti, paṇītampi lūkhaṁ denti, asakkaccaṁ denti no sakkaccaṁ, na upanisīdanti dhammassavanāya, bhāsitamassa na sussūsanti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, navahaṅgehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā nālaṁ upagantuṁ upagantvā vā nālaṁ nisīdituṁ.
“Bhikkhus, visiting a family with nine factors is not worthwhile, or if you’ve already arrived, sitting down is not worthwhile. What nine? They don’t politely rise, bow, or offer a seat. They hide what they have. Even when they have much they give little. Even when they have refined things they give coarse things. They give carelessly, not carefully. They don’t sit nearby to listen to the teachings. When you’re speaking, they don’t listen well. Visiting a family with these nine factors is not worthwhile, or if you’ve already arrived, sitting down is not worthwhile.
नवहि, भिक्खवे, अङ्गेहि समन्नागतं कुलं अनुपगन्त्वा वा अलं उपगन्तुं, उपगन्त्वा वा अलं निसीदितुं। कतमेहि नवहि? मनापेन पच्चुट्ठेन्ति, मनापेन अभिवादेन्ति, मनापेन आसनं देन्ति, सन्तमस्स न परिगुहन्ति, बहुकम्पि बहुकं देन्ति, पणीतम्पि पणीतं देन्ति, सक्कच्चं देन्ति नो असक्कच्चं, उपनिसीदन्ति धम्मस्सवनाय, भासितमस्स सुस्सूसन्ति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, नवहङ्गेहि समन्नागतं कुलं अनुपगन्त्वा वा अलं उपगन्तुं, उपगन्त्वा वा अलं निसीदितुन्”ति।
Navahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā alaṁ upagantuṁ, upagantvā vā alaṁ nisīdituṁ. Katamehi navahi?

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, navahaṅgehi samannāgataṁ kulaṁ anupagantvā vā alaṁ upagantuṁ, upagantvā vā alaṁ nisīditun”ti.
