“सत्तहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु विनयधरो होति। कतमेहि सत्तहि? आपत्तिं जानाति, अनापत्तिं जानाति, लहुकं आपत्तिं जानाति, गरुकं आपत्तिं जानाति, विनये खो पन ठितो होति असंहीरो, चतुन्नं झानानं आभिचेतसिकानं दिट्ठधम्मसुखविहारानं निकामलाभी होति अकिच्छलाभी अकसिरलाभी, आसवानं खया अनासवं चेतोविमुत्तिं पञ्ञाविमुत्तिं दिट्ठेव धम्मे सयं अभिञ्ञा सच्छिकत्वा उपसम्पज्ज विहरति। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, सत्तहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु विनयधरो होती”ति।
“Sattahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu vinayadharo hoti. Katamehi sattahi? Āpattiṁ jānāti, anāpattiṁ jānāti, lahukaṁ āpattiṁ jānāti, garukaṁ āpattiṁ jānāti, vinaye kho pana ṭhito hoti asaṁhīro, catunnaṁ jhānānaṁ ābhicetasikānaṁ diṭṭhadhammasukhavihārānaṁ nikāmalābhī hoti akicchalābhī akasiralābhī, āsavānaṁ khayā anāsavaṁ cetovimuttiṁ paññāvimuttiṁ diṭṭheva dhamme sayaṁ abhiññā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, sattahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu vinayadharo hotī”ti.
“Bhikkhus, a bhikkhu with seven qualities is an expert in the monastic law. What seven? They know what is an offense. They know what is not an offense. They know what is a light offense. They know what is a serious offense. They’re firm and unfaltering in the training. They get the four jhānas—blissful meditations in the present life that belong to the higher mind—when they want, without trouble or difficulty. They realize the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life, and live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements. A bhikkhu with these seven qualities is an expert in the monastic law.”
