वेरम्भसुत्त
Verambhasutta
Gale-force Winds
सावत्थियं विहरति।
Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.
At Sāvatthī.
“दारुणो, भिक्खवे, लाभसक्कारसिलोको …पे… अधिगमाय।
“Dāruṇo, bhikkhave, lābhasakkārasiloko …pe… adhigamāya.
“Possessions, honor, and popularity are brutal …
उपरि, भिक्खवे, आकासे वेरम्भा नाम वाता वायन्ति। तत्थ यो पक्खी गच्छति तमेनं वेरम्भा वाता खिपन्ति। तस्स वेरम्भवातक्खित्तस्स अञ्ञेनेव पादा गच्छन्ति, अञ्ञेन पक्खा गच्छन्ति, अञ्ञेन सीसं गच्छति, अञ्ञेन कायो गच्छति।
Upari, bhikkhave, ākāse verambhā1 nāma vātā vāyanti. Tattha yo pakkhī gacchati tamenaṁ verambhā vātā khipanti. Tassa verambhavātakkhittassa aññeneva pādā gacchanti, aññena pakkhā gacchanti, aññena sīsaṁ gacchati, aññena kāyo gacchati.
High in the sky there are gale-force winds blowing. Any bird that flies there is flung about by those gale-force winds. Their feet go one way, their wings another, their head another, and their body another.
एवमेव खो, भिक्खवे, इधेकच्चो भिक्खु लाभसक्कारसिलोकेन अभिभूतो परियादिण्णचित्तो पुब्बण्हसमयं निवासेत्वा पत्तचीवरमादाय गामं वा निगमं वा पिण्डाय पविसति अरक्खितेनेव कायेन अरक्खिताय वाचाय अरक्खितेन चित्तेन, अनुपट्ठिताय सतिया, असंवुतेहि इन्द्रियेहि। सो तत्थ पस्सति मातुगामं दुन्निवत्थं वा दुप्पारुतं वा। तस्स मातुगामं दिस्वा दुन्निवत्थं वा दुप्पारुतं वा रागो चित्तं अनुद्धंसेति। सो रागानुद्धंसितेन चित्तेन सिक्खं पच्चक्खाय हीनायावत्तति। तस्स अञ्ञे चीवरं हरन्ति, अञ्ञे पत्तं हरन्ति, अञ्ञे निसीदनं हरन्ति, अञ्ञे सूचिघरं हरन्ति, वेरम्भवातक्खित्तस्सेव सकुणस्स।
Evameva kho, bhikkhave, idhekacco bhikkhu lābhasakkārasilokena abhibhūto pariyādiṇṇacitto pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya gāmaṁ vā nigamaṁ vā piṇḍāya pavisati arakkhiteneva kāyena arakkhitāya vācāya arakkhitena cittena, anupaṭṭhitāya satiyā, asaṁvutehi indriyehi. So tattha passati mātugāmaṁ dunnivatthaṁ vā duppārutaṁ vā. Tassa mātugāmaṁ disvā dunnivatthaṁ vā duppārutaṁ vā rāgo cittaṁ anuddhaṁseti. So rāgānuddhaṁsitena cittena sikkhaṁ paccakkhāya hīnāyāvattati. Tassa aññe cīvaraṁ haranti, aññe pattaṁ haranti, aññe nisīdanaṁ haranti, aññe sūcigharaṁ haranti, verambhavātakkhittasseva sakuṇassa.
In the same way, take a certain monk whose mind is overcome and overwhelmed by possessions, honor, and popularity. He robes up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, enters the village or town for alms without guarding body, speech, and mind, without establishing mindfulness, and without restraining the sense faculties. There he sees a female scantily clad, with revealing clothes. Lust infects his mind. He resigns the training and returns to a lesser life. Some take his robe, others his bowl, others his sitting cloth, others his needle case, just like the bird flung about by the gale-force winds.
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. …”
नवमं।
Navamaṁ.
