    Then Venerable Ānanda went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:

  5. 5

    “सब्बंsab·baṃ नुnu खो,kho आनन्द,ā·nan·da सीलब्बतंsī·lab·ba·taṃ जीवितंjī·vi·taṃ ब्रह्मचरियंbrah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ उपट्ठानसारंu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·raṃ सफलन्”ति?sa·pha·lan

    “sabbaṁ nu kho, ānanda, sīlabbataṁ jīvitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ upaṭṭhānasāraṁ saphalan”ti?

    “Ānanda, are all precepts and observances, lifestyles, and spiritual paths fruitful when taken as the essence?”

  6. 6

    “नna ख्वेत्थ,khvet·tha भन्ते,bhan·te एकंसेना”ति।e·kaṃ·se·nā

    “Na khvettha, bhante, ekaṁsenā”ti.

    “This matter is not categorical, sir.”

  7. 7

    “तेनte·na हानन्द,hā·nan·da विभजस्सू”ति।vi·bha·jas·sū

    “Tena hānanda, vibhajassū”ti.

    “Well then, Ānanda, break it down.”

  8. 8

    “यञ्हिस्स,yañ·his·sa भन्ते,bhan·te सीलब्बतंsī·lab·ba·taṃ जीवितंjī·vi·taṃ ब्रह्मचरियंbrah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ उपट्ठानसारंu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·raṃ सेवतोse·va·to अकुसलाa·ku·sa·lā धम्माdham·mā अभिवड्ढन्तिa·bhi·vaḍ·ḍhan·ti कुसलाku·sa·lā धम्माdham·mā परिहायन्ति,pa·ri·hā·yan·ti एवरूपंe·va·rū·paṃ सीलब्बतंsī·lab·ba·taṃ जीवितंjī·vi·taṃ ब्रह्मचरियंbrah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ उपट्ठानसारंu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·raṃ अफलं।a·pha·laṃ

    “Yañhissa, bhante, sīlabbataṁ jīvitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ upaṭṭhānasāraṁ sevato akusalā dhammā abhivaḍḍhanti kusalā dhammā parihāyanti, evarūpaṁ sīlabbataṁ jīvitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ upaṭṭhānasāraṁ aphalaṁ.

    “Take the case of someone who cultivates precepts and observances, a lifestyle, and a spiritual path, taking this as the essence. If unskillful qualities grow while skillful qualities decline, that’s not fruitful.

  9. 9

    यञ्चyañ·ca ख्वास्स,khvās·sa भन्ते,bhan·te सीलब्बतंsī·lab·ba·taṃ जीवितंjī·vi·taṃ ब्रह्मचरियंbrah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ उपट्ठानसारंu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·raṃ सेवतोse·va·to अकुसलाa·ku·sa·lā धम्माdham·mā परिहायन्ति,pa·ri·hā·yan·ti कुसलाku·sa·lā धम्माdham·mā अभिवड्ढन्ति,a·bhi·vaḍ·ḍhan·ti एवरूपंe·va·rū·paṃ सीलब्बतंsī·lab·ba·taṃ जीवितंjī·vi·taṃ ब्रह्मचरियंbrah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ उपट्ठानसारंu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·raṃ सफलन्”ति।sa·pha·lan

    Yañca khvāssa, bhante, sīlabbataṁ jīvitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ upaṭṭhānasāraṁ sevato akusalā dhammā parihāyanti, kusalā dhammā abhivaḍḍhanti, evarūpaṁ sīlabbataṁ jīvitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ upaṭṭhānasāraṁ saphalan”ti.

    However, if unskillful qualities decline while skillful qualities grow, that is fruitful.”

  10. 10

    इदमवोचi·da·ma·vo·ca आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दो।ā·nan·do

    Idamavoca āyasmā ānando.

    That is what Venerable Ānanda said,

  11. 11

    समनुञ्ञोsa·ma·nuñ·ño सत्थाsat·thā अहोसि।a·ho·si

    Samanuñño satthā ahosi.

    and the Teacher concurred.

  12. 12

    अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do “समनुञ्ञोsa·ma·nuñ·ño मेme सत्था”ति,sat·thā उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ अभिवादेत्वाa·bhi·vā·det·vā पदक्खिणंpa·dak·khi·ṇaṃ कत्वाkat·vā पक्कामि।pak·kā·mi

    Atha kho āyasmā ānando “samanuñño me satthā”ti, uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.

    Then Ānanda, knowing that the Teacher concurred, got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.

  13. 13

    अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā अचिरपक्कन्तेa·ci·ra·pak·kan·te आयस्मन्तेā·yas·man·te आनन्देā·nan·de भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

    Atha kho bhagavā acirapakkante āyasmante ānande bhikkhū āmantesi:

    Then, not long after Ānanda had left, the Buddha addressed the mendicants:

  14. 14

    “सेखो,se·kho भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve आनन्दो;ā·nan·do

    “sekho, bhikkhave, ānando;

    “Mendicants, Ānanda is a trainee,

  15. 15

    na ca panassa sulabharūpo samasamo paññāyā”ti.

    but it’s not easy to find his equal in wisdom.”

  16. 16

    अट्ठमं।aṭ·ṭha·maṃ

    Aṭṭhamaṁ.
