“इमं, भिक्खवे, रत्तिं अञ्ञतरा देवता …पे… मं एतदवोच: ‘सत्तिमे, भन्ते, धम्मा भिक्खुनो अपरिहानाय संवत्तन्ति। कतमे सत्त? सत्थुगारवता, धम्मगारवता, सङ्घगारवता, सिक्खागारवता, समाधिगारवता, सोवचस्सता, कल्याणमित्तता। इमे खो, भन्ते, सत्त धम्मा भिक्खुनो अपरिहानाय संवत्तन्तीऽति।
“Imaṁ, bhikkhave, rattiṁ aññatarā devatā …pe… maṁ etadavoca: ‘sattime, bhante, dhammā bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattanti. Katame satta? Satthugāravatā, dhammagāravatā, saṅghagāravatā, sikkhāgāravatā, samādhigāravatā, sovacassatā, kalyāṇamittatā. Ime kho, bhante, satta dhammā bhikkhuno aparihānāya saṁvattantī’ti.
“Bhikkhus, tonight a deity … said to me: ‘Sir, these seven things don’t lead to the decline of a bhikkhu trainee. What seven? Respect for the Teacher, for the teaching, for the Saṅgha, for the training, for immersion; being easy to admonish, and good friendship. These seven things don’t lead to the decline of a bhikkhu trainee.’
इदमवोच, भिक्खवे, सा देवता। इदं वत्वा मं अभिवादेत्वा पदक्खिणं कत्वा तत्थेवन्तरधायीति।
Idamavoca, bhikkhave, sā devatā. Idaṁ vatvā maṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā tatthevantaradhāyīti.
That is what that deity said. Then he bowed and respectfully circled me, keeping me on his right side, before vanishing right there.
सत्थुगरु धम्मगरु, सङ्घे च तिब्बगारवो; समाधिगरु आतापी, सिक्खाय तिब्बगारवो।
Satthugaru dhammagaru, saṅghe ca tibbagāravo; Samādhigaru ātāpī, sikkhāya tibbagāravo.
Respect for the Teacher and the teaching, and keen respect for the Saṅgha; respect for immersion, being energetic, and keen respect for the training.
कल्याणमित्तो सुवचो, सप्पतिस्सो सगारवो; अभब्बो परिहानाय, निब्बानस्सेव सन्तिके”ति।
Kalyāṇamitto suvaco, sappatisso sagāravo; Abhabbo parihānāya, nibbānasseva santike”ti.
One with good friends, easy to admonish, reverential and respectful, can’t decline, and has drawn near to Nibbana.”
ततियं।
Tatiyaṁ.
