“सत्त वो, भिक्खवे, अपरिहानिये धम्मे देसेस्सामि। तं सुणाथ, साधुकं मनसि करोथ …पे… कतमे च, भिक्खवे, सत्त अपरिहानिया धम्मा? यावकीवञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खू सद्धा भविस्सन्ति; वुद्धियेव, भिक्खवे, भिक्खूनं पाटिकङ्खा, नो परिहानि। यावकीवञ्च, भिक्खवे, भिक्खू हिरिमन्तो भविस्सन्ति …पे… ओत्तप्पिनो भविस्सन्ति … बहुस्सुता भविस्सन्ति … आरद्धवीरिया भविस्सन्ति … सतिमन्तो भविस्सन्ति … पञ्ञवन्तो भविस्सन्ति; वुद्धियेव, भिक्खवे, भिक्खूनं पाटिकङ्खा, नो परिहानि।
“Satta vo, bhikkhave, aparihāniye dhamme desessāmi. Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha …pe… katame ca, bhikkhave, satta aparihāniyā dhammā? Yāvakīvañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhū saddhā bhavissanti; vuddhiyeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhūnaṁ pāṭikaṅkhā, no parihāni. Yāvakīvañca, bhikkhave, bhikkhū hirimanto bhavissanti …pe… ottappino1 bhavissanti … bahussutā bhavissanti … āraddhavīriyā bhavissanti … satimanto bhavissanti … paññavanto bhavissanti; vuddhiyeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhūnaṁ pāṭikaṅkhā, no parihāni.
“Bhikkhus, I will teach you seven principles that prevent decline. Listen and apply your mind well … And what are the seven principles that prevent decline? As long as the bhikkhus are faithful … conscientious … prudent … learned … energetic … mindful … wise, they can expect growth, not decline.
यावकीवञ्च, भिक्खवे, इमे सत्त अपरिहानिया धम्मा भिक्खूसु ठस्सन्ति, इमेसु च सत्तसु अपरिहानियेसु धम्मेसु भिक्खू सन्दिस्सिस्सन्ति; वुद्धियेव, भिक्खवे, भिक्खूनं पाटिकङ्खा, नो परिहानी”ति।
Yāvakīvañca, bhikkhave, ime satta aparihāniyā dhammā bhikkhūsu ṭhassanti, imesu ca sattasu aparihāniyesu dhammesu bhikkhū sandississanti; vuddhiyeva, bhikkhave, bhikkhūnaṁ pāṭikaṅkhā, no parihānī”ti.
As long as these seven principles that prevent decline last among the bhikkhus, and as long as the bhikkhus are seen following them, they can expect growth, not decline.”
