The Uposatha day with Nine Factors
“नवहि, भिक्खवे, अङ्गेहि समन्नागतो उपोसथो उपवुत्थो महप्फलो होति महानिसंसो महाजुतिको महाविप्फारो। कथं उपवुत्थो च, भिक्खवे, नवहङ्गेहि समन्नागतो उपोसथो महप्फलो होति महानिसंसो महाजुतिको महाविप्फारो?
“Navahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgato uposatho upavuttho mahapphalo hoti mahānisaṁso mahājutiko mahāvipphāro. Kathaṁ upavuttho ca, bhikkhave, navahaṅgehi samannāgato uposatho mahapphalo hoti mahānisaṁso mahājutiko mahāvipphāro?
“Bhikkhus, the observance of the Uposatha day with its nine factors is very fruitful and beneficial and splendid and bountiful. And how should it be observed?
इध, भिक्खवे, अरियसावको इति पटिसञ्चिक्खति: ‘यावजीवं अरहन्तो पाणातिपातं पहाय पाणातिपाता पटिविरता निहितदण्डा निहितसत्था लज्जी दयापन्ना सब्बपाणभूतहितानुकम्पिनो विहरन्ति; अहम्पज्ज इमञ्च रत्तिं इमञ्च दिवसं पाणातिपातं पहाय पाणातिपाता पटिविरतो निहितदण्डो निहितसत्थो लज्जी दयापन्नो सब्बपाणभूतहितानुकम्पी विहरामि। इमिनापङ्गेन अरहतं अनुकरोमि; उपोसथो च मे उपवुत्थो भविस्सतीऽति। इमिना पठमेन अङ्गेन समन्नागतो होति …पे…।
Idha, bhikkhave, ariyasāvako iti paṭisañcikkhati: ‘yāvajīvaṁ arahanto pāṇātipātaṁ pahāya pāṇātipātā paṭiviratā nihitadaṇḍā nihitasatthā lajjī dayāpannā sabbapāṇabhūtahitānukampino viharanti; ahampajja imañca rattiṁ imañca divasaṁ pāṇātipātaṁ pahāya pāṇātipātā paṭivirato nihitadaṇḍo nihitasattho lajjī dayāpanno sabbapāṇabhūtahitānukampī viharāmi. Imināpaṅgena1 arahataṁ anukaromi; uposatho ca me upavuttho bhavissatī’ti. Iminā paṭhamena aṅgena samannāgato hoti …pe….
It’s when a noble disciple reflects: ‘As long as they live, the perfected ones give up killing living creatures, renouncing the rod and the sword. They are scrupulous and kind, and live full of compassion for all living beings. I, too, for this day and night will give up killing living creatures, renouncing the rod and the sword. I’ll be scrupulous and kind, and live full of compassion for all living beings. I will observe the Uposatha day by doing as the perfected ones do in this respect.’ This is its first factor. …
‘यावजीवं अरहन्तो उच्चासयनमहासयनं पहाय उच्चासयनमहासयना पटिविरता नीचसेय्यं कप्पेन्ति—मञ्चके वा तिणसन्थारके वा; अहम्पज्ज इमञ्च रत्तिं इमञ्च दिवसं उच्चासयनमहासयनं पहाय उच्चासयनमहासयना पटिविरतो नीचसेय्यं कप्पेमि—मञ्चके वा तिणसन्थारके वा। इमिनापङ्गेन अरहतं अनुकरोमि; उपोसथो च मे उपवुत्थो भविस्सतीऽति। इमिना अट्ठमेन अङ्गेन समन्नागतो होति।
‘Yāvajīvaṁ arahanto uccāsayanamahāsayanaṁ pahāya uccāsayanamahāsayanā paṭiviratā nīcaseyyaṁ kappenti—mañcake vā tiṇasanthārake vā; ahampajja imañca rattiṁ imañca divasaṁ uccāsayanamahāsayanaṁ pahāya uccāsayanamahāsayanā paṭivirato nīcaseyyaṁ kappemi—mañcake vā tiṇasanthārake vā. Imināpaṅgena arahataṁ anukaromi; uposatho ca me upavuttho bhavissatī’ti. Iminā aṭṭhamena aṅgena samannāgato hoti.
‘As long as they live, the perfected ones give up high and luxurious beds. They sleep in a low place, either a small bed or a straw mat. I, too, for this day and night will give up high and luxurious beds. I’ll sleep in a low place, either a small bed or a straw mat. I will observe the Uposatha day by doing as the perfected ones do in this respect.’ This is its eighth factor.
मेत्तासहगतेन चेतसा एकं दिसं फरित्वा विहरति, तथा दुतियं तथा ततियं तथा चतुत्थं। इति उद्धमधो तिरियं सब्बधि सब्बत्तताय सब्बावन्तं लोकं मेत्तासहगतेन चेतसा विपुलेन महग्गतेन अप्पमाणेन अवेरेन अब्यापज्जेन फरित्वा विहरति। इमिना नवमेन अङ्गेन समन्नागतो होति।
Mettāsahagatena cetasā ekaṁ disaṁ pharitvā viharati, tathā dutiyaṁ tathā tatiyaṁ tathā catutthaṁ. Iti uddhamadho tiriyaṁ sabbadhi sabbattatāya sabbāvantaṁ lokaṁ mettāsahagatena cetasā vipulena mahaggatena appamāṇena averena abyāpajjena2 pharitvā viharati. Iminā navamena aṅgena samannāgato hoti.
They meditate spreading a heart full of love to one direction, and to the second, and to the third, and to the fourth. In the same way above, below, across, everywhere, all around, they spread a heart full of love to the whole world—abundant, expansive, limitless, free of enmity and ill will. This is its ninth factor.
एवं उपवुत्थो खो, भिक्खवे, नवहङ्गेहि समन्नागतो उपोसथो महप्फलो होति महानिसंसो महाजुतिको महाविप्फारो”ति।
Evaṁ upavuttho kho, bhikkhave, navahaṅgehi samannāgato uposatho mahapphalo hoti mahānisaṁso mahājutiko mahāvipphāro”ti.
The observance of the Uposatha day with its nine factors in this way is very fruitful and beneficial and splendid and bountiful.”
