कतमा च, भिक्खवे, दुक्खा पटिपदा दन्धाभिञ्ञा? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पकतियापि तिब्बरागजातिको होति, अभिक्खणं रागजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। पकतियापि तिब्बदोसजातिको होति, अभिक्खणं दोसजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। पकतियापि तिब्बमोहजातिको होति, अभिक्खणं मोहजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। तस्सिमानि पञ्चिन्द्रियानि मुदूनि पातुभवन्ति—सद्धिन्द्रियं, वीरियिन्द्रियं, सतिन्द्रियं, समाधिन्द्रियं, पञ्ञिन्द्रियं। सो इमेसं पञ्चन्नं इन्द्रियानं मुदुत्ता दन्धं आनन्तरियं पापुणाति आसवानं खयाय। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, दुक्खा पटिपदा दन्धाभिञ्ञा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, dukkhā paṭipadā dandhābhiññā? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pakatiyāpi tibbarāgajātiko hoti, abhikkhaṇaṁ rāgajaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti. Pakatiyāpi tibbadosajātiko hoti, abhikkhaṇaṁ dosajaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti. Pakatiyāpi tibbamohajātiko hoti, abhikkhaṇaṁ mohajaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti. Tassimāni pañcindriyāni mudūni pātubhavanti—saddhindriyaṁ, vīriyindriyaṁ, satindriyaṁ, samādhindriyaṁ, paññindriyaṁ. So imesaṁ pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ muduttā dandhaṁ ānantariyaṁ pāpuṇāti āsavānaṁ khayāya. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, dukkhā paṭipadā dandhābhiññā.
And what’s the painful practice with slow insight? It’s when someone is ordinarily full of acute greed, hate, and delusion. They often feel the pain and sadness that greed, hate, and delusion bring. These five faculties manifest in them weakly: faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom. Because of this, they only slowly attain the conditions for ending the defilements in the present life. This is called the painful practice with slow insight.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, दुक्खा पटिपदा खिप्पाभिञ्ञा? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पकतियापि तिब्बरागजातिको होति, अभिक्खणं रागजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। पकतियापि तिब्बदोसजातिको होति, अभिक्खणं दोसजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। पकतियापि तिब्बमोहजातिको होति, अभिक्खणं मोहजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। तस्सिमानि पञ्चिन्द्रियानि अधिमत्तानि पातुभवन्ति—सद्धिन्द्रियं, वीरियिन्द्रियं, सतिन्द्रियं, समाधिन्द्रियं, पञ्ञिन्द्रियं। सो इमेसं पञ्चन्नं इन्द्रियानं अधिमत्तत्ता खिप्पं आनन्तरियं पापुणाति आसवानं खयाय। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, दुक्खा पटिपदा खिप्पाभिञ्ञा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, dukkhā paṭipadā khippābhiññā? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pakatiyāpi tibbarāgajātiko hoti, abhikkhaṇaṁ rāgajaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti. Pakatiyāpi tibbadosajātiko hoti, abhikkhaṇaṁ dosajaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti. Pakatiyāpi tibbamohajātiko hoti, abhikkhaṇaṁ mohajaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti. Tassimāni pañcindriyāni adhimattāni pātubhavanti—saddhindriyaṁ, vīriyindriyaṁ, satindriyaṁ, samādhindriyaṁ, paññindriyaṁ. So imesaṁ pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ adhimattattā khippaṁ ānantariyaṁ pāpuṇāti āsavānaṁ khayāya. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, dukkhā paṭipadā khippābhiññā.
And what’s the painful practice with swift insight? It’s when someone is ordinarily full of acute greed, hate, and delusion. They often feel the pain and sadness that greed, hate, and delusion bring. And these five faculties manifest in them strongly: faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom. Because of this, they swiftly attain the conditions for ending the defilements in the present life. This is called the painful practice with swift insight.
कतमा च, भिक्खवे, सुखा पटिपदा दन्धाभिञ्ञा? इध, भिक्खवे, एकच्चो पकतियापि न तिब्बरागजातिको होति, नाभिक्खणं रागजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। पकतियापि न तिब्बदोसजातिको होति, नाभिक्खणं दोसजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। पकतियापि न तिब्बमोहजातिको होति, नाभिक्खणं मोहजं दुक्खं दोमनस्सं पटिसंवेदेति। तस्सिमानि पञ्चिन्द्रियानि मुदूनि पातुभवन्ति—सद्धिन्द्रियं …पे… पञ्ञिन्द्रियं। सो इमेसं पञ्चन्नं इन्द्रियानं मुदुत्ता दन्धं आनन्तरियं पापुणाति आसवानं खयाय। अयं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, सुखा पटिपदा दन्धाभिञ्ञा।
Katamā ca, bhikkhave, sukhā paṭipadā dandhābhiññā? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco pakatiyāpi na tibbarāgajātiko hoti, nābhikkhaṇaṁ rāgajaṁ dukkhaṁ domanassaṁ paṭisaṁvedeti.

Tassimāni pañcindriyāni mudūni pātubhavanti—saddhindriyaṁ …pe… paññindriyaṁ. So imesaṁ pañcannaṁ indriyānaṁ muduttā dandhaṁ ānantariyaṁ pāpuṇāti āsavānaṁ khayāya. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sukhā paṭipadā dandhābhiññā.
