Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

Tena kho pana samayena sāvatthiyaṁ aññataro bhikkhu ahinā daṭṭho kālaṅkato hoti.

Now, at that time a monk in Sāvatthī passed away due to a snake bite.

Then several mendicants went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,
7

“इध,i·dha भन्ते,bhan·te सावत्थियंsā·vat·thi·yaṃ अञ्ञतरोañ·ña·ta·ro भिक्खुbhik·khu अहिनाa·hi·nā दट्ठोdaṭ·ṭho कालङ्कतो”ति।kā·laṅ·ka·to

“idha, bhante, sāvatthiyaṁ aññataro bhikkhu ahinā daṭṭho kālaṅkato”ti.

“Sir, a monk in Sāvatthī has passed away due to a snake bite.”
8

“Na hi nūna so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cattāri ahirājakulāni mettena cittena phari.

“Mendicants, that monk mustn’t have spread a mind of love to the four royal snake families.

If he had, he wouldn’t have died due to a snake bite.
