“चत्तारोमे, भिक्खवे, वियत्ता विनीता विसारदा बहुस्सुता धम्मधरा धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्ना सङ्घं सोभेन्ति। कतमे चत्तारो? भिक्खु, भिक्खवे, वियत्तो विनीतो विसारदो बहुस्सुतो धम्मधरो धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्नो सङ्घं सोभेति। भिक्खुनी, भिक्खवे, वियत्ता विनीता विसारदा बहुस्सुता धम्मधरा धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्ना सङ्घं सोभेति। उपासको, भिक्खवे, वियत्तो विनीतो विसारदो बहुस्सुतो धम्मधरो धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्नो सङ्घं सोभेति। उपासिका, भिक्खवे, वियत्ता विनीता विसारदा बहुस्सुता धम्मधरा धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्ना सङ्घं सोभेति।
“Cattārome, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobhenti. Katame cattāro? Bhikkhu, bhikkhave, viyatto vinīto visārado bahussuto dhammadharo dhammānudhammappaṭipanno saṅghaṁ sobheti. Bhikkhunī, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobheti. Upāsako, bhikkhave, viyatto vinīto visārado bahussuto dhammadharo dhammānudhammappaṭipanno saṅghaṁ sobheti. Upāsikā, bhikkhave, viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobheti.
“Bhikkhus, these four competent, educated, assured, learned people—who have memorized the teachings and practice in line with the teachings—beautify the Saṅgha. What four? A monk, a nun, a layman, and a laywoman.
इमे खो, भिक्खवे, चत्तारो वियत्ता विनीता विसारदा बहुस्सुता धम्मधरा धम्मानुधम्मप्पटिपन्ना सङ्घं सोभेन्तीति।
Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro viyattā vinītā visāradā bahussutā dhammadharā dhammānudhammappaṭipannā saṅghaṁ sobhentīti.
These four competent, educated, assured, learned people—who have memorized the teachings and practice in line with the teachings—beautify the Saṅgha.
यो होति वियत्तो च विसारदो च, बहुस्सुतो धम्मधरो च होति; धम्मस्स होति अनुधम्मचारी, स तादिसो वुच्चति सङ्घसोभनो।
Yo hoti viyatto1 ca visārado ca, Bahussuto dhammadharo ca hoti; Dhammassa hoti anudhammacārī, Sa tādiso vuccati saṅghasobhano.
Whoever is competent and assured, learned, a memorizer of the teachings, who lives in line with the teachings—such a person is said to beautify the Saṅgha.
भिक्खु च सीलसम्पन्नो, भिक्खुनी च बहुस्सुता; उपासको च यो सद्धो, या च सद्धा उपासिका; एते खो सङ्घं सोभेन्ति, एते हि सङ्घसोभना”ति।
Bhikkhu ca sīlasampanno, bhikkhunī ca bahussutā; Upāsako ca yo saddho, yā ca saddhā upāsikā; Ete kho saṅghaṁ sobhenti, ete hi saṅghasobhanā”ti.
A monk accomplished in ethics, and a learned nun, a faithful layman, and a faithful laywoman, too: these beautify the Saṅgha, they are the beautifiers of the Saṅgha.”
