Shines as an Expert in the Monastic Law (1st)
“सत्तहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो विनयधरो सोभति। कतमेहि सत्तहि? आपत्तिं जानाति, अनापत्तिं जानाति, लहुकं आपत्तिं जानाति, गरुकं आपत्तिं जानाति, सीलवा होति …पे… समादाय सिक्खति सिक्खापदेसु, चतुन्नं झानानं आभिचेतसिकानं निकामलाभी होति अकिच्छलाभी अकसिरलाभी, आसवानं खया …पे… सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, सत्तहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो विनयधरो सोभती”ति।
“Sattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato1 vinayadharo sobhati. Katamehi sattahi? Āpattiṁ jānāti, anāpattiṁ jānāti, lahukaṁ āpattiṁ jānāti, garukaṁ āpattiṁ jānāti, sīlavā hoti …pe… samādāya sikkhati sikkhāpadesu, catunnaṁ jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ nikāmalābhī hoti akicchalābhī akasiralābhī, āsavānaṁ khayā …pe… sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato vinayadharo sobhatī”ti.
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with seven qualities shines as an expert in the monastic law. What seven? They know what is an offense. They know what is not an offense. They know what is a light offense. They know what is a serious offense. They’re ethical, restrained in the monastic code, conducting themselves well and seeking alms in suitable places; seeing danger in the slightest fault, they keep the rules they’ve undertaken. They get the four jhānas—blissful meditations in the present life that belong to the higher mind—when they want, without trouble or difficulty. They realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life, and live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements. A bhikkhu with these seven qualities shines as an expert in the monastic law.”
