6. Pilindavacchasuttaṃ

26. Evaṃ me sutaṃ – ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā rājagahe viharati veḷuvane kalandakanivāpe. Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā pilindavaccho ² bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācarati. Atha kho sambahulā bhikkhū yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṃsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdiṃsu. Ekamantaṃ nisinnā kho te bhikkhū bhagavantaṃ etadavocuṃ – ‘‘āyasmā, bhante, pilindavaccho bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācaratī’’ti.

Atha kho bhagavā aññataraṃ bhikkhuṃ āmantesi – ‘‘ehi tvaṃ, bhikkhu, mama vacanena pilindavacchaṃ bhikkhuṃ āmantehi – ‘satthā taṃ, āvuso pilindavaccha ⁴, āmantetī’’’ti. ‘‘Evaṃ, bhante’’ti kho so bhikkhu bhagavato paṭissutvā yenāyasmā pilindavaccho tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṃ pilindavacchaṃ etadavoca – ‘‘satthā taṃ, āvuso pilindavaccha, āmantetī’’ti.

‘‘Evamāvuso’’ti kho āyasmā pilindavaccho tassa bhikkhuno paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṃ abhivādetvā ekamantaṃ nisīdi. Ekamantaṃ nisinnaṃ kho āyasmantaṃ pilindavacchaṃ bhagavā etadavoca – ‘‘saccaṃ kira tvaṃ, vaccha, bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācarasī’’ti? ‘‘Evaṃ, bhante’’ti.

Atha kho bhagavā āyasmato pilindavacchassa pubbenivāsaṃ manasi karitvā bhikkhū āmantesi – ‘‘mā kho tumhe, bhikkhave, vacchassa bhikkhuno ujjhāyittha. Na, bhikkhave, vaccho dosantaro bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācarati. Vacchassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pañca jātisatāni abbokiṇṇāni brāhmaṇakule paccājātāni. So tassa vasalavādo dīgharattaṃ samudāciṇṇo ⁶. Tenāyaṃ vaccho bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācaratī’’ti.

Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṃ viditvā tāyaṃ velāyaṃ imaṃ udānaṃ udānesi –

‘‘Yamhī na māyā vasatī na māno,

Yo vītalobho amamo nirāso;

Panuṇṇakodho ⁸ abhinibbutatto,

So brāhmaṇo so samaṇo sa bhikkhū’’ti. chaṭṭhaṃ;
