समणब्राह्मणसुत्त
Samaṇabrāhmaṇasutta
Ascetics and Brahmins
सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“ये हि केचि, भिक्खवे, समणा वा ब्राह्मणा वा लाभसक्कारसिलोकस्स अस्सादञ्च आदीनवञ्च निस्सरणञ्च यथाभूतं नप्पजानन्ति, न मे ते, भिक्खवे, समणा वा ब्राह्मणा वा समणेसु वा समणसम्मता ब्राह्मणेसु वा ब्राह्मणसम्मता, न च पन ते आयस्मन्ता सामञ्ञत्थं वा ब्रह्मञ्ञत्थं वा दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरन्ति।
“Ye hi keci, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā lābhasakkārasilokassa assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ nappajānanti, na me te, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā samaṇesu vā samaṇasammatā brāhmaṇesu vā brāhmaṇasammatā, na ca pana te āyasmantā sāmaññatthaṁ vā brahmaññatthaṁ vā diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharanti.
“Bhikkhus, there are ascetics and brahmins who don’t truly understand the gratification, drawback, and escape when it comes to possessions, honor, and popularity. I don’t deem them as true ascetics and brahmins. Those venerables don’t realize the goal of life as an ascetic or brahmin, and don’t live having realized it with their own insight.
ये च खो केचि, भिक्खवे, समणा वा ब्राह्मणा वा लाभसक्कारसिलोकस्स अस्सादञ्च आदीनवञ्च निस्सरणञ्च यथाभूतं पजानन्ति, ते च खो मे, भिक्खवे, समणा वा ब्राह्मणा वा समणेसु चेव समणसम्मता ब्राह्मणेसु च ब्राह्मणसम्मता, ते च पनायस्मन्तो सामञ्ञत्थञ्च ब्रह्मञ्ञत्थञ्च दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरन्ती”ति।
Ye ca kho keci, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā lābhasakkārasilokassa assādañca ādīnavañca nissaraṇañca yathābhūtaṁ pajānanti, te ca kho me, bhikkhave, samaṇā vā brāhmaṇā vā samaṇesu ceva samaṇasammatā brāhmaṇesu ca brāhmaṇasammatā, te ca panāyasmanto sāmaññatthañca brahmaññatthañca diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharantī”ti.
There are ascetics and brahmins who do truly understand the gratification, drawback, and escape when it comes to possessions, honor, and popularity. I deem them as true ascetics and brahmins. Those venerables realize the goal of life as an ascetic or brahmin, and live having realized it with their own insight.”
