   At one time the Buddha was staying near Vesālī, at the Great Wood, in the hall with the peaked roof.

   Then Sāḷha and Abhaya the Licchavis went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

   “Sāḷha, purification of ethics is one of the factors of the ascetic life, I say.

    But those ascetics and brahmins who teach fervent mortification in disgust of sin—regarding it as essential and sticking to it—are incapable of crossing the flood.

    And those ascetics and brahmins whose livelihood and behavior by way of body, speech, and mind, is not pure are also incapable of knowing and seeing, of supreme awakening.

12. 12

    Seyyathāpi, sāḷha, puriso nadiṁ taritukāmo tiṇhaṁ kuṭhāriṁ ādāya vanaṁ paviseyya.

    Suppose a man who wanted to cross a river took a sharp axe into a wood.

13. 13

    So tattha passeyya mahatiṁ sālalaṭṭhiṁ ujuṁ navaṁ akukkuccakajātaṁ.

    There he’d see a large green sal tree, straight and young and grown unskewed.

14. 14

    तमेनंta·me·naṃ मूलेmū·le छिन्देय्य;chin·dey·ya

15. 15

    मूलेmū·le छेत्वाchet·vā अग्गेag·ge छिन्देय्य;chin·dey·ya

    and completely strip off the branches and foliage.

    Then he’d trim it with axes and

    lekhaṇiyā likhitvā pāsāṇaguḷena dhoveyya;

    and sand it with a rock.

21. 21

    पासाणगुळेनpā·sā·ṇa·gu·ḷe·na धोवेत्वाdho·vet·vā नदिंna·diṃ पतारेय्य।pa·tā·rey·ya

    pāsāṇaguḷena dhovetvā nadiṁ patāreyya.

    Finally, he’d launch out on the river.

22. 22

    तंtaṃ किंkiṃ मञ्ञसि,mañ·ña·si साळ्ह,sā·ḷha

    Taṁ kiṁ maññasi, sāḷha,

    What do you think, Sāḷha?

    bhabbo nu kho so puriso nadiṁ taritun”ti?

    Is that man capable of crossing the river?”

24. 24

    “नोno हेतं,he·taṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

    “No hetaṁ, bhante”.

    “No, sir.

25. 25

    “तंtaṃ किस्सkis·sa हेतु”?he·tu

    “Taṁ kissa hetu”?

    Why not?

26. 26

    “असुa·su हि,hi भन्ते,bhan·te साललट्ठिsā·la·laṭ·ṭhi बहिद्धाba·hid·dhā सुपरिकम्मकताsu·pa·ri·kam·ma·ka·tā अन्तोan·to अविसुद्धा।a·vi·sud·dhā

    “Asu hi, bhante, sālalaṭṭhi bahiddhā suparikammakatā anto avisuddhā.

    Because that green sal tree is well worked on the outside, but inside it’s still not cleared out.

27. 27

    तस्सेतंtas·se·taṃ पाटिकङ्खं—साललट्ठिpā·ṭi·kaṅ·khaṃ संसीदिस्सति,saṃ·sī·dis·sa·ti पुरिसोpu·ri·so अनयब्यसनंa·na·yab·ya·sa·naṃ आपज्जिस्सती”ति।ā·paj·jis·sa·tī

    Tassetaṁ pāṭikaṅkhaṁ—sālalaṭṭhi saṁsīdissati, puriso anayabyasanaṁ āpajjissatī”ti.

    I’d expect that green sal tree to sink, and the man to come to ruin.”

28. 28

    “एवमेवंe·va·me·vaṃ खो,kho साळ्ह,sā·ḷha येye तेte समणब्राह्मणाsa·ma·ṇab·rāh·ma·ṇā तपोजिगुच्छावादाta·po·ji·guc·chā·vā·dā तपोजिगुच्छासाराta·po·ji·guc·chā·sā·rā तपोजिगुच्छाअल्लीनाta·po·ji·guc·chā·al·lī·nā विहरन्ति,vi·ha·ran·ti अभब्बाa·bhab·bā तेte ओघस्सo·ghas·sa नित्थरणाय।nit·tha·ra·ṇā·ya

    “In the same way, Sāḷha, those ascetics and brahmins who teach fervent mortification in disgust of sin—regarding it as essential and sticking to it—are incapable of crossing the flood.

29. 29

    येपिye·pi ते,te साळ्ह,sā·ḷha समणब्राह्मणाsa·ma·ṇab·rāh·ma·ṇā अपरिसुद्धकायसमाचाराa·pa·ri·sud·dha·kā·ya·sa·mā·cā·rā अपरिसुद्धवचीसमाचाराa·pa·ri·sud·dha·va·cī·sa·mā·cā·rā अपरिसुद्धमनोसमाचाराa·pa·ri·sud·dha·ma·no·sa·mā·cā·rā अपरिसुद्धाजीवा,a·pa·ri·sud·dhā·jī·vā अभब्बाa·bhab·bā तेte ञाणदस्सनायñā·ṇa·das·sa·nā·ya अनुत्तरायa·nut·ta·rā·ya सम्बोधाय।sam·bo·dhā·ya

    And those ascetics and brahmins whose livelihood and behavior by way of body, speech, and mind is not pure are also incapable of knowing and seeing, of supreme awakening.

30. 30

    But those ascetics and brahmins who don’t teach mortification in disgust of sin—not regarding it as essential or sticking to it—are capable of crossing the flood.

31. 31
