“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो सुणन्तोपि सद्धम्मं अभब्बो नियामं ओक्कमितुं कुसलेसु धम्मेसु सम्मत्तं। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? मक्खी धम्मं सुणाति मक्खपरियुट्ठितो, उपारम्भचित्तो धम्मं सुणाति रन्धगवेसी, धम्मदेसके आहतचित्तो होति खीलजातो, दुप्पञ्ञो होति जळो एळमूगो, अनञ्ञाते अञ्ञातमानी होति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो सुणन्तोपि सद्धम्मं अभब्बो नियामं ओक्कमितुं कुसलेसु धम्मेसु सम्मत्तं।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. Katamehi pañcahi? Makkhī dhammaṁ suṇāti makkhapariyuṭṭhito, upārambhacitto1 dhammaṁ suṇāti randhagavesī, dhammadesake āhatacitto hoti khīlajāto, duppañño hoti jaḷo eḷamūgo, anaññāte aññātamānī hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato suṇantopi saddhammaṁ abhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ.
“Bhikkhus, someone with five qualities is unable to enter the sure path with regards to skillful qualities even when listening to the true teaching. What five? They listen to the teaching bent only on putting it down. They listen to the teaching with a hostile, fault-finding mind. They’re antagonistic to the teacher, planning to attack them. They’re witless, dull, and stupid. And they think they know what they don’t know. Someone with these five qualities is unable to enter the sure path with regards to skillful qualities even when listening to the true teaching.
पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो सुणन्तो सद्धम्मं भब्बो नियामं ओक्कमितुं कुसलेसु धम्मेसु सम्मत्तं। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? अमक्खी धम्मं सुणाति न मक्खपरियुट्ठितो, अनुपारम्भचित्तो धम्मं सुणाति न रन्धगवेसी, धम्मदेसके अनाहतचित्तो होति अखीलजातो, पञ्ञवा होति अजळो अनेळमूगो, न अनञ्ञाते अञ्ञातमानी होति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो सुणन्तो सद्धम्मं भब्बो नियामं ओक्कमितुं कुसलेसु धम्मेसु सम्मत्तन्”ति।
Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato suṇanto saddhammaṁ bhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattaṁ. Katamehi pañcahi? Amakkhī dhammaṁ suṇāti na makkhapariyuṭṭhito, anupārambhacitto dhammaṁ suṇāti na randhagavesī, dhammadesake anāhatacitto hoti akhīlajāto, paññavā hoti ajaḷo aneḷamūgo, na anaññāte aññātamānī hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato suṇanto saddhammaṁ bhabbo niyāmaṁ okkamituṁ kusalesu dhammesu sammattan”ti.
Someone with five qualities is able to enter the sure path with regards to skillful qualities when listening to the true teaching. What five? They don’t listen to the teaching bent only on putting it down. They don’t listen to the teaching with a hostile, fault-finding mind. They’re not antagonistic to the teacher, and not planning to attack them. They’re wise, bright, and clever. And they don’t think they know what they don’t know. Someone with these five qualities is able to enter the sure path with regards to skillful qualities when listening to the true teaching.”
