Worthy of Offerings (1st)
एवं मे सुतं—एकं समयं भगवा सावत्थियं विहरति जेतवने अनाथपिण्डिकस्स आरामे। तत्र खो भगवा भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “भिक्खवो”ति।
Evaṁ me sutaṁ—ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: “bhikkhavo”ti.
So I have heard. At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. There the Buddha addressed the bhikkhus, “Bhikkhus!”
“भदन्ते”ति ते भिक्खू भगवतो पच्चस्सोसुं। भगवा एतदवोच:
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ. Bhagavā etadavoca:
“Venerable sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this:
“छहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति पाहुनेय्यो दक्खिणेय्यो अञ्जलिकरणीयो अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्स। कतमेहि छहि?
“Chahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassa. Katamehi chahi?
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with six qualities is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of veneration with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world. What six?
इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु चक्खुना रूपं दिस्वा नेव सुमनो होति न दुम्मनो, उपेक्खको विहरति सतो सम्पजानो।
Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cakkhunā rūpaṁ disvā neva sumano hoti na dummano, upekkhako viharati sato sampajāno.
It’s a bhikkhu who, when they see a sight with their eyes, is neither happy nor sad. They remain equanimous, mindful and aware.
सोतेन सद्दं सुत्वा …
Sotena saddaṁ sutvā …
When they hear a sound with their ears …
घानेन गन्धं घायित्वा …
ghānena gandhaṁ ghāyitvā …
When they smell an odor with their nose …
जिव्हाय रसं सायित्वा …
jivhāya rasaṁ sāyitvā …
When they taste a flavor with their tongue …
कायेन फोट्ठब्बं फुसित्वा …
kāyena phoṭṭhabbaṁ phusitvā …
When they feel a touch with their body …
मनसा धम्मं विञ्ञाय नेव सुमनो होति न दुम्मनो, उपेक्खको विहरति सतो सम्पजानो।
manasā dhammaṁ viññāya neva sumano hoti na dummano, upekkhako viharati sato sampajāno.
When they know a thought with their mind, they’re neither happy nor sad. They remain equanimous, mindful and aware.
इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, छहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति पाहुनेय्यो दक्खिणेय्यो अञ्जलिकरणीयो अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्सा”ति।
Imehi kho, bhikkhave, chahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassā”ti.
A bhikkhu with these six qualities is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of veneration with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world.”
इदमवोच भगवा। अत्तमना ते भिक्खू भगवतो भासितं अभिनन्दुन्ति।
Idamavoca bhagavā. Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandunti.
That is what the Buddha said. Satisfied, the bhikkhus approved what the Buddha said.
पठमं।
Paṭhamaṁ.
