सुवण्णपातिसुत्त
Suvaṇṇapātisutta
A Golden Bowl
सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“दारुणो, भिक्खवे, लाभसक्कारसिलोको …पे… अधिगमाय।
“Dāruṇo, bhikkhave, lābhasakkārasiloko …pe… adhigamāya.
“Possessions, honor, and popularity are brutal …
इधाहं, भिक्खवे, एकच्चं पुग्गलं एवं चेतसा चेतो परिच्च पजानामि: ‘न चायमायस्मा सुवण्णपातियापि रूपियचुण्णपरिपूराय हेतु सम्पजानमुसा भासेय्याऽति। तमेनं पस्सामि अपरेन समयेन लाभसक्कारसिलोकेन अभिभूतं परियादिण्णचित्तं सम्पजानमुसा भासन्तं।
Idhāhaṁ, bhikkhave, ekaccaṁ puggalaṁ evaṁ cetasā ceto paricca pajānāmi: ‘na cāyamāyasmā suvaṇṇapātiyāpi rūpiyacuṇṇaparipūrāya hetu sampajānamusā bhāseyyā’ti. Tamenaṁ passāmi aparena samayena lābhasakkārasilokena abhibhūtaṁ pariyādiṇṇacittaṁ sampajānamusā bhāsantaṁ.
When I’ve comprehended the mind of a certain person, I understand: ‘This venerable would not tell a deliberate lie even for the sake of a golden bowl filled with silver powder.’ But some time later I see them tell a deliberate lie because their mind is overcome and overwhelmed by possessions, honor, and popularity.
एवं दारुणो खो, भिक्खवे, लाभसक्कारसिलोको …पे… एवञ्हि वो, भिक्खवे, सिक्खितब्बन्”ति।
Evaṁ dāruṇo kho, bhikkhave, lābhasakkārasiloko …pe… evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban”ti.
So brutal are possessions, honor, and popularity. …”

Paṭhamaṁ.
