एकं समयं अञ्ञतरो भिक्खु कोसलेसु विहरति अञ्ञतरस्मिं वनसण्डे।
Ekaṁ samayaṁ aññataro bhikkhu kosalesu viharati aññatarasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe.
At one time one of the bhikkhus was staying in the land of the Kosalans in a certain forest grove.
तेन खो पन समयेन सो भिक्खु यं सुदं पुब्बे अतिवेलं सज्झायबहुलो विहरति सो अपरेन समयेन अप्पोस्सुक्को तुण्हीभूतो सङ्कसायति। अथ खो या तस्मिं वनसण्डे अधिवत्था देवता तस्स भिक्खुनो धम्मं असुणन्ती येन सो भिक्खु तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा तं भिक्खुं गाथाय अज्झभासि:
Tena kho pana samayena so bhikkhu yaṁ sudaṁ pubbe ativelaṁ sajjhāyabahulo viharati so aparena samayena appossukko tuṇhībhūto saṅkasāyati. Atha kho yā tasmiṁ vanasaṇḍe adhivatthā devatā tassa bhikkhuno dhammaṁ asuṇantī yena so bhikkhu tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ bhikkhuṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:

“कस्मा तुवं धम्मपदानि भिक्खु, नाधीयसि भिक्खुहि संवसन्तो; सुत्वान धम्मं लभतिप्पसादं, दिट्ठेव धम्मे लभतिप्पसंसन्”ति।
“Kasmā tuvaṁ dhammapadāni bhikkhu, Nādhīyasi bhikkhuhi saṁvasanto; Sutvāna dhammaṁ labhatippasādaṁ, Diṭṭheva dhamme labhatippasaṁsan”ti.
“Bhikkhu, why don’t you recite
passages of the teaching, living together with other bhikkhus? When you hear the teaching confidence grows; and the reciter is praised in the present life.”
“अहु पुरे धम्मपदेसु छन्दो, याव विरागेन समागमिम्ह; यतो विरागेन समागमिम्ह, यं किञ्चि दिट्ठंव सुतं मुतं वा; अञ्ञाय निक्खेपनमाहु सन्तो”ति।
“Ahu pure dhammapadesu chando, Yāva virāgena samāgamimha; Yato virāgena samāgamimha, Yaṁ kiñci diṭṭhaṁva sutaṁ mutaṁ vā; Aññāya nikkhepanamāhu santo”ti.
