Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro kumbhā. Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, cattāro kumbhūpamā puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. Katame cattāro?

कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो तुच्छो होति पिहितो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चस्स पुग्गलस्स पासादिकं होति अभिक्कन्तं पटिक्कन्तं आलोकितं विलोकितं समिञ्जितं पसारितं सङ्घाटिपत्तचीवरधारणं। सो ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो तुच्छो होति पिहितो। सेय्यथापि सो, भिक्खवे, कुम्भो तुच्छो पिहितो; तथूपमाहं, भिक्खवे, इमं पुग्गलं वदामि।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo tuccho hoti pihito? Idha, bhikkhave, ekaccassa puggalassa pāsādikaṁ hoti abhikkantaṁ paṭikkantaṁ ālokitaṁ vilokitaṁ samiñjitaṁ pasāritaṁ saṅghāṭipattacīvaradhāraṇaṁ. So ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānāti …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānāti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo tuccho hoti pihito. Seyyathāpi so, bhikkhave, kumbho tuccho pihito; tathūpamāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imaṁ puggalaṁ vadāmi.
And how is a person covered but hollow? It’s when a person is impressive when going out and coming back, when looking ahead and aside, when bending and extending the limbs, and when bearing the outer robe, bowl and robes. But they don’t truly understand: ‘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’. That’s how a person is covered but hollow. That person is like a pot that’s covered but hollow, I say.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो पूरो होति विवटो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चस्स पुग्गलस्स न पासादिकं होति अभिक्कन्तं पटिक्कन्तं आलोकितं विलोकितं समिञ्जितं पसारितं सङ्घाटिपत्तचीवरधारणं। सो ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो पूरो होति विवटो। सेय्यथापि सो, भिक्खवे, कुम्भो पूरो विवटो; तथूपमाहं, भिक्खवे, इमं पुग्गलं वदामि।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo pūro hoti vivaṭo? Idha, bhikkhave, ekaccassa puggalassa na pāsādikaṁ hoti abhikkantaṁ paṭikkantaṁ ālokitaṁ vilokitaṁ samiñjitaṁ pasāritaṁ saṅghāṭipattacīvaradhāraṇaṁ. So ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo pūro hoti vivaṭo. Seyyathāpi so, bhikkhave, kumbho pūro vivaṭo; tathūpamāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imaṁ puggalaṁ vadāmi.
And how is a person uncovered but full? It’s when a person is not impressive … But they truly understand: ‘This is suffering’ …
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो तुच्छो होति विवटो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चस्स पुग्गलस्स न पासादिकं होति अभिक्कन्तं पटिक्कन्तं आलोकितं विलोकितं समिञ्जितं पसारितं सङ्घाटिपत्तचीवरधारणं। सो ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति यथाभूतं नप्पजानाति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो तुच्छो होति विवटो। सेय्यथापि सो, भिक्खवे, कुम्भो तुच्छो विवटो; तथूपमाहं, भिक्खवे, इमं पुग्गलं वदामि।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo tuccho hoti vivaṭo? Idha, bhikkhave, ekaccassa puggalassa na pāsādikaṁ hoti abhikkantaṁ paṭikkantaṁ ālokitaṁ vilokitaṁ samiñjitaṁ pasāritaṁ saṅghāṭipattacīvaradhāraṇaṁ. So ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānāti …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ nappajānāti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo tuccho hoti vivaṭo. Seyyathāpi so, bhikkhave, kumbho tuccho vivaṭo; tathūpamāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imaṁ puggalaṁ vadāmi.
And how is a person uncovered and hollow? It’s when a person is not impressive … Nor do they truly understand: ‘This is suffering’ …
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो पूरो होति पिहितो? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चस्स पुग्गलस्स पासादिकं होति अभिक्कन्तं पटिक्कन्तं आलोकितं विलोकितं समिञ्जितं पसारितं सङ्घाटिपत्तचीवरधारणं। सो ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति …पे… ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो पूरो होति पिहितो। सेय्यथापि सो, भिक्खवे, कुम्भो पूरो पिहितो; तथूपमाहं, भिक्खवे, इमं पुग्गलं वदामि।

So ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti …pe… ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo pūro hoti pihito. Seyyathāpi so, bhikkhave, kumbho pūro pihito; tathūpamāhaṁ, bhikkhave, imaṁ puggalaṁ vadāmi.
And how is a person covered and full? It’s when a person is impressive … And they truly understand: ‘This is suffering’ …
इमे खो, भिक्खवे, चत्तारो कुम्भूपमा पुग्गला सन्तो संविज्जमाना लोकस्मिन्”ति।
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro kumbhūpamā puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.
These four people similar to pots are found in the world.”
