“चत्तारोमे, भिक्खवे, पुग्गला सन्तो संविज्जमाना लोकस्मिं। कतमे चत्तारो? समणमचलो, समणपुण्डरीको, समणपदुमो, समणेसु समणसुखुमालो।
“Cattārome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. Katame cattāro? Samaṇamacalo, samaṇapuṇḍarīko, samaṇapadumo, samaṇesu samaṇasukhumālo.
“Bhikkhus, these four people are found in the world. What four? The confirmed ascetic, the white lotus ascetic, the pink lotus ascetic, and the exquisite ascetic of ascetics.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणमचलो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिको होति, सम्मासङ्कप्पो होति, सम्मावाचो होति, सम्माकम्मन्तो होति, सम्माआजीवो होति, सम्मावायामो होति, सम्मासति होति, सम्मासमाधि होति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणमचलो होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇamacalo hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiko hoti, sammāsaṅkappo hoti, sammāvāco hoti, sammākammanto hoti, sammāājīvo hoti, sammāvāyāmo hoti, sammāsati1 hoti, sammāsamādhi hoti. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇamacalo hoti.
And how is a person a confirmed ascetic? It’s when a bhikkhu has right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, and right immersion. That’s how a person is a confirmed ascetic.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपुण्डरीको होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिको होति, सम्मासङ्कप्पो होति, सम्मावाचो होति, सम्माकम्मन्तो होति, सम्माआजीवो होति, सम्मावायामो होति, सम्मासति होति, सम्मासमाधि होति, सम्माञाणी होति, सम्माविमुत्ति होति, नो च खो अट्ठ विमोक्खे कायेन फुसित्वा विहरति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपुण्डरीको होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapuṇḍarīko hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiko hoti, sammāsaṅkappo hoti, sammāvāco hoti, sammākammanto hoti, sammāājīvo hoti, sammāvāyāmo hoti, sammāsati hoti, sammāsamādhi hoti, sammāñāṇī hoti, sammāvimutti2 hoti, no ca kho aṭṭha vimokkhe kāyena phusitvā viharati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapuṇḍarīko hoti.
And how is a person a white lotus ascetic? It’s when they have right view, right thought, right speech, right action, right livelihood, right effort, right mindfulness, right immersion, right knowledge, and right freedom. But they don’t have direct meditative experience of the eight liberations. That’s how a person is a white lotus ascetic.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपदुमो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु सम्मादिट्ठिको होति …पे… सम्माविमुत्ति होति, अट्ठ च विमोक्खे कायेन फुसित्वा विहरति। एवं खो, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणपदुमो होति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapadumo hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu sammādiṭṭhiko hoti …pe… sammāvimutti hoti, aṭṭha ca vimokkhe kāyena phusitvā viharati. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇapadumo hoti.
And how is a person a pink lotus ascetic? It’s when they have right view … and right freedom. And they do have direct meditative experience of the eight liberations. That’s how a person is a pink lotus ascetic.
कथञ्च, भिक्खवे, पुग्गलो समणेसु समणसुखुमालो होति? इध, भिक्खवे, भिक्खु याचितोव बहुलं चीवरं परिभुञ्जति, अप्पं अयाचितो …पे… यञ्हि तं, भिक्खवे, सम्मा वदमानो वदेय्य समणेसु समणसुखुमालोति, ममेव तं, भिक्खवे, सम्मा वदमानो वदेय्य समणेसु समणसुखुमालोति।
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo samaṇesu samaṇasukhumālo hoti? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu yācitova bahulaṁ cīvaraṁ paribhuñjati, appaṁ ayācito …pe… yañhi taṁ, bhikkhave, sammā vadamāno vadeyya samaṇesu samaṇasukhumāloti, mameva taṁ, bhikkhave, sammā vadamāno vadeyya samaṇesu samaṇasukhumāloti.
And how is a person an exquisite ascetic of ascetics? It’s when a bhikkhu usually uses only what they’ve been invited to accept … And if anyone should be rightly called an exquisite ascetic of ascetics, it’s me.
इमे खो, भिक्खवे, चत्तारो पुग्गला सन्तो संविज्जमाना लोकस्मिन्”ति।
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.
These are the four people found in the world.”
