    At Naḷakapāna (1st)

    एकं समयं भगवा कोसलेसु चारिकं चरमानो महता भिक्खुसङ्घेन सद्धिं येन नळकपानं नाम कोसलानं निगमो तदवसरि। तत्र सुदं भगवा नळकपाने विहरति पलासवने। तेन खो पन समयेन भगवा तदहुपोसथे भिक्खुसङ्घपरिवुतो निसिन्नो होति। अथ खो भगवा बहुदेव रत्तिं भिक्खूनं धम्मिया कथाय सन्दस्सेत्वा समादपेत्वा समुत्तेजेत्वा सम्पहंसेत्वा तुण्हीभूतं तुण्हीभूतं भिक्खुसङ्घं अनुविलोकेत्वा आयस्मन्तं सारिपुत्तं आमन्तेसि:

    Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā kosalesu cārikaṁ caramāno mahatā bhikkhusaṅghena saddhiṁ yena naḷakapānaṁ nāma kosalānaṁ nigamo tadavasari. Tatra sudaṁ bhagavā naḷakapāne viharati palāsavane. Tena kho pana samayena bhagavā tadahuposathe bhikkhusaṅghaparivuto nisinno hoti. Atha kho bhagavā bahudeva rattiṁ bhikkhūnaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetvā samādapetvā samuttejetvā sampahaṁsetvā tuṇhībhūtaṁ tuṇhībhūtaṁ bhikkhusaṅghaṁ anuviloketvā āyasmantaṁ sāriputtaṁ āmantesi:

    At one time the Buddha was wandering in the land of the Kosalans together with a large Saṅgha of bhikkhus when he arrived at a town of the Kosalans named Naḷakapāna. There the Buddha stayed near Naḷakapāna in the grove of flame-of-the-forest trees. Now, at that time it was the Uposatha day, and the Buddha was sitting surrounded by a Saṅgha of monks. The Buddha spent much of the night educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the bhikkhus with a Dhamma talk. Then he looked around the Saṅgha of bhikkhus, who were so very silent. He addressed Venerable Sāriputta:

    “विगतथिनमिद्धो खो, सारिपुत्त, भिक्खुसङ्घो। पटिभातु तं, सारिपुत्त, भिक्खूनं धम्मी कथा। पिट्ठि मे आगिलायति; तमहं आयमिस्सामी”ति।

    “Vigatathinamiddho1 kho, sāriputta, bhikkhusaṅgho. Paṭibhātu taṁ, sāriputta, bhikkhūnaṁ dhammī kathā. Piṭṭhi me āgilāyati; tamahaṁ āyamissāmī”ti.

    “Sāriputta, the Saṅgha of bhikkhus is rid of dullness and drowsiness. Give them some Dhamma talk as you feel inspired. My back is sore, I’ll stretch it.”

    “एवं, भन्ते”ति खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो भगवतो पच्चस्सोसि।

    “Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā sāriputto bhagavato paccassosi.

    “Yes, sir,” Sāriputta replied.

    अथ खो भगवा चतुग्गुणं सङ्घाटिं पञ्ञापेत्वा दक्खिणेन पस्सेन सीहसेय्यं कप्पेसि पादे पादं अच्चाधाय सतो सम्पजानो उट्ठानसञ्ञं मनसि करित्वा। तत्र खो आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो भिक्खू आमन्तेसि: “आवुसो भिक्खवे”ति।

    Atha kho bhagavā catugguṇaṁ saṅghāṭiṁ paññāpetvā dakkhiṇena passena sīhaseyyaṁ kappesi pāde pādaṁ accādhāya sato sampajāno uṭṭhānasaññaṁ manasi karitvā. Tatra kho āyasmā sāriputto bhikkhū āmantesi: “āvuso bhikkhave”ti.

    And then the Buddha spread out his outer robe folded in four and laid down in the lion’s posture—on the right side, placing one foot on top of the other—mindful and aware, and focused on the time of getting up. There Sāriputta addressed the bhikkhus: “Friends, bhikkhus!”

    “आवुसो”ति खो ते भिक्खू आयस्मतो सारिपुत्तस्स पच्चस्सोसुं। आयस्मा सारिपुत्तो एतदवोच:

    “Āvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato sāriputtassa paccassosuṁ. Āyasmā sāriputto etadavoca:

    “Friend,” they replied. Sāriputta said this:

    “यस्स कस्सचि, आवुसो, सद्धा नत्थि कुसलेसु धम्मेसु, हिरी नत्थि … ओत्तप्पं नत्थि … वीरियं नत्थि … पञ्ञा नत्थि कुसलेसु धम्मेसु, तस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति, हानियेव पाटिकङ्खा कुसलेसु धम्मेसु नो वुद्धि। सेय्यथापि, आवुसो, काळपक्खे चन्दस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति, हायतेव वण्णेन हायति मण्डलेन हायति आभाय हायति आरोहपरिणाहेन; एवमेवं खो, आवुसो, यस्स कस्सचि सद्धा नत्थि कुसलेसु धम्मेसु, हिरी नत्थि … ओत्तप्पं नत्थि … वीरियं नत्थि … पञ्ञा नत्थि कुसलेसु धम्मेसु, तस्स या रत्ति वा दिवसो वा आगच्छति, हानियेव पाटिकङ्खा कुसलेसु धम्मेसु नो वुद्धि।

    “Friends, whoever has no faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom when it comes to skillful qualities can expect decline, not growth, in skillful qualities, whether by day or by night. It’s like the moon in the waning fortnight. Whether by day or by night, its beauty, roundness, light, and diameter and circumference only decline. In the same way, whoever has no faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom when it comes to skillful qualities can expect decline, not growth, in skillful qualities, whether by day or by night.

    Whoever has faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom when it comes to skillful qualities can expect growth, not decline, in skillful qualities, whether by day or by night.

    Then the Buddha got up and said to Venerable Sāriputta:
