    Commemoration

    “तीणिमानि, भिक्खवे, रञ्ञो खत्तियस्स मुद्धावसित्तस्स यावजीवं सारणीयानि भवन्ति। कतमानि तीणि? यस्मिं, भिक्खवे, पदेसे राजा खत्तियो मुद्धावसित्तो जातो होति। इदं, भिक्खवे, पठमं रञ्ञो खत्तियस्स मुद्धावसित्तस्स यावजीवं सारणीयं होति।

    “Tīṇimāni, bhikkhave, rañño khattiyassa muddhāvasittassa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyāni1 bhavanti. Katamāni tīṇi? Yasmiṁ, bhikkhave, padese rājā khattiyo muddhāvasitto jāto hoti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, paṭhamaṁ rañño khattiyassa muddhāvasittassa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ hoti.

    “An anointed aristocratic king should commemorate three places as long as he lives. What three? The place he was born. This is the first place.

    पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, यस्मिं पदेसे राजा खत्तियो मुद्धावसित्तो होति। इदं, भिक्खवे, दुतियं रञ्ञो खत्तियस्स मुद्धावसित्तस्स यावजीवं सारणीयं होति।

    Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, yasmiṁ padese rājā khattiyo muddhāvasitto hoti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, dutiyaṁ rañño khattiyassa muddhāvasittassa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ hoti.

    The place he was anointed as king. This is the second place.

    पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, यस्मिं पदेसे राजा खत्तियो मुद्धावसित्तो सङ्गामं अभिविजिनित्वा विजितसङ्गामो तमेव सङ्गामसीसं अज्झावसति। इदं, भिक्खवे, ततियं रञ्ञो खत्तियस्स मुद्धावसित्तस्स यावजीवं सारणीयं होति। इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, तीणि रञ्ञो खत्तियस्स मुद्धावसित्तस्स यावजीवं सारणीयानि भवन्ति।

    Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, yasmiṁ padese rājā khattiyo muddhāvasitto saṅgāmaṁ abhivijinitvā vijitasaṅgāmo tameva saṅgāmasīsaṁ ajjhāvasati. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, tatiyaṁ rañño khattiyassa muddhāvasittassa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ hoti. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi rañño khattiyassa muddhāvasittassa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyāni bhavanti.

    The place where he won victory in battle, establishing himself as foremost in battle. This is the third place. These are the three places an anointed king should commemorate as long as he lives.

    एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, तीणिमानि भिक्खुस्स यावजीवं सारणीयानि भवन्ति। कतमानि तीणि? यस्मिं, भिक्खवे, पदेसे भिक्खु केसमस्सुं ओहारेत्वा कासायानि वत्थानि अच्छादेत्वा अगारस्मा अनगारियं पब्बजितो होति। इदं, भिक्खवे, पठमं भिक्खुस्स यावजीवं सारणीयं होति।

    Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, tīṇimāni bhikkhussa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyāni bhavanti. Katamāni tīṇi? Yasmiṁ, bhikkhave, padese bhikkhu kesamassuṁ ohāretvā kāsāyāni vatthāni acchādetvā agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajito hoti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, paṭhamaṁ bhikkhussa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ hoti.

    In the same way, a bhikkhu should commemorate three places as long as they live. What three? The place where the bhikkhu shaved off their hair and beard, dressed in ocher robes, and went forth from the lay life to homelessness. This is the first place.

    पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, यस्मिं पदेसे भिक्खु ‘इदं दुक्खन्ऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति, ‘अयं दुक्खसमुदयोऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधोऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति, ‘अयं दुक्खनिरोधगामिनी पटिपदाऽति यथाभूतं पजानाति। इदं, भिक्खवे, दुतियं भिक्खुस्स यावजीवं सारणीयं होति।

    Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, yasmiṁ padese bhikkhu ‘idaṁ dukkhan’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhasamudayo’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodho’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti, ‘ayaṁ dukkhanirodhagāminī paṭipadā’ti yathābhūtaṁ pajānāti. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, dutiyaṁ bhikkhussa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ hoti.

    The place where the bhikkhu truly understands: ‘This is suffering’ … ‘This is the origin of suffering’ … ‘This is the cessation of suffering’ … ‘This is the practice that leads to the cessation of suffering’. This is the second place.

    पुन चपरं, भिक्खवे, यस्मिं पदेसे भिक्खु आसवानं खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति। इदं, भिक्खवे, ततियं भिक्खुस्स यावजीवं सारणीयं होति। इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, तीणि भिक्खुस्स यावजीवं सारणीयानि भवन्ती”ति।

    Puna caparaṁ, bhikkhave, yasmiṁ padese bhikkhu āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. Idaṁ, bhikkhave, tatiyaṁ bhikkhussa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyaṁ hoti. Imāni kho, bhikkhave, tīṇi bhikkhussa yāvajīvaṁ sāraṇīyāni bhavantī”ti.

    The place where the bhikkhu realizes the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements. This is the third place. These are the three places a bhikkhu should commemorate as long as they live.”

    दुतियं।

    Dutiyaṁ.
