   “Mendicants, this one time, when I was first awakened, I was staying in Uruvelā at the goatherd’s banyan tree on the bank of the Nerañjarā River.

   Then several old brahmins—elderly and senior, who were advanced in years and had reached the final stage of life—came up to me, and exchanged greetings with me.

6. 6

   When the greetings and polite conversation were over, they sat down to one side, and said to me:

7. 7

   ‘सुतंsu·taṃ नेतं,ne·taṃ भोbho गोतम:go·ta·ma

   ‘sutaṁ netaṁ, bho gotama:

   ‘Worthy Gotama, we have heard this:

   “na samaṇo gotamo brāhmaṇe jiṇṇe vuddhe mahallake addhagate vayoanuppatte abhivādeti vā paccuṭṭheti vā āsanena vā nimantetī”ti.

   “The ascetic Gotama does not bow to old brahmins, elderly and senior, who are advanced in years and have reached the final stage of life; nor does he rise in their presence or offer them a seat.”

9. 9

   तयिदं,ta·yi·daṃ भोbho गोतम,go·ta·ma तथेव।ta·the·va

   Tayidaṁ, bho gotama, tatheva.

   And this is indeed the case,

10. 10

    Na hi bhavaṁ gotamo brāhmaṇe jiṇṇe vuddhe mahallake addhagate vayoanuppatte abhivādeti vā paccuṭṭheti vā āsanena vā nimanteti.

    for the worthy Gotama does not bow to old brahmins, elderly and senior, who are advanced in years and have reached the final stage of life; nor does he rise in their presence or offer them a seat.

11. 11

    तयिदं,ta·yi·daṃ भोbho गोतम,go·ta·ma नna सम्पन्नमेवा’ति।sam·pan·na·me·vā

    Tayidaṁ, bho gotama, na sampannamevā’ti.

    This is not appropriate, worthy Gotama.’

    Tassa mayhaṁ, bhikkhave, etadahosi:

    Then it occurred to me,

13. 13

    ‘नयिमेna·yi·me आयस्मन्तोā·yas·man·to जानन्तिjā·nan·ti थेरंthe·raṃ वाvā थेरकरणेthe·ra·ka·ra·ṇe वाvā धम्मे’ति।dham·me

    ‘nayime āyasmanto jānanti theraṁ vā therakaraṇe vā dhamme’ti.

    ‘These venerables don’t know what a senior is, or what qualities make you a senior.’

14. 14

    Vuddho cepi, bhikkhave, hoti āsītiko vā nāvutiko vā vassasatiko vā jātiyā.

    But your speech is untimely, false, meaningless, and against the teaching or training. You say things at the wrong time which are worthless, unreasonable, rambling, and unbeneficial.

    A mendicant is ethical, restrained in the monastic code, conducting themselves well and resorting for alms in suitable places. Seeing danger in the slightest fault, they keep the rules they’ve undertaken.

    They’re very learned, remembering and keeping what they’ve learned. These teachings are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased, describing a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. They are very learned in such teachings, remembering them, rehearsing them, mentally scrutinizing them, and penetrating them theoretically.
