Inclusion
“चत्तारिमानि, भिक्खवे, सङ्गहवत्थूनि। कतमानि चत्तारि? दानं, पेय्यवज्जं, अत्थचरिया, समानत्तता—
“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, saṅgahavatthūni. Katamāni cattāri? Dānaṁ, peyyavajjaṁ, atthacariyā, samānattatā—
“Bhikkhus, there are these four ways of being inclusive. What four? Giving, kindly words, taking care, and equality.
इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, चत्तारि सङ्गहवत्थूनीति।
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri saṅgahavatthūnīti.
These are the four ways of being inclusive.
दानञ्च पेय्यवज्जञ्च, अत्थचरिया च या इध; समानत्तता च धम्मेसु, तत्थ तत्थ यथारहं; एते खो सङ्गहा लोके, रथस्साणीव यायतो।
Dānañca peyyavajjañca, atthacariyā ca yā idha; Samānattatā ca dhammesu, tattha tattha yathārahaṁ; Ete kho saṅgahā loke, rathassāṇīva yāyato.
Giving and kindly words, taking care here, and equality in worldly conditions, in each case as they deserve. These ways of being inclusive in the world are like a moving chariot’s linchpin.
एते च सङ्गहा नास्सु, न माता पुत्तकारणा; लभेथ मानं पूजं वा, पिता वा पुत्तकारणा।
Ete ca saṅgahā nāssu, na mātā puttakāraṇā; Labhetha mānaṁ pūjaṁ vā, pitā vā puttakāraṇā.
If there were no such ways of being inclusive, neither mother nor father would be respected and honored for what they’ve done for their children.
यस्मा च सङ्गहा एते, समवेक्खन्ति पण्डिता; तस्मा महत्तं पप्पोन्ति, पासंसा च भवन्ति ते”ति।
Yasmā ca saṅgahā1 ete, samavekkhanti paṇḍitā; Tasmā mahattaṁ papponti, pāsaṁsā ca bhavanti te”ti.
But since these ways of being inclusive do exist, the astute do regard them well, so they achieve greatness and are praised.”
दुतियं।
Dutiyaṁ.
