Labbhā, bhikkhave, yobbanena kāmā te ca kho yādisā vā tādisā vā.

Because a youth can get sensual pleasures of this kind or that.

Suppose there was a little baby boy who, because of his nursemaid’s negligence, puts a stick or stone in his mouth.

The nursemaid would very quickly notice

and try to take it out.

If that didn’t work, she’d cradle his head with her left hand, and take it out using a hooked finger of her right hand, even if it drew blood.
13

‘Atthesā, bhikkhave, kumārassa vihesā;

I admit she’d know, ‘This will distress the child,
15

नेसाne·sā नत्थी’तिnat·thī वदामि।va·dā·mi

nesā natthī’ti vadāmi.

there’s no denying.’
16

Karaṇīyañca kho etaṁ, bhikkhave, dhātiyā atthakāmāya hitesiniyā anukampikāya, anukampaṁ upādāya.

Still, it should be done by a nursemaid who wants what’s best for him, out of kindness and sympathy.
17

Yato ca kho, bhikkhave, so kumāro vuddho hoti alaṁpañño, anapekkhā dāni, bhikkhave, dhāti tasmiṁ kumāre hoti:

And when the boy has grown up and has enough sense, his nursemaid would not be concerned about him, thinking:
18

‘अत्तगुत्तोat·ta·gut·to दानिdā·ni कुमारोku·mā·ro नालंnā·laṃ पमादाया’ति।pa·mā·dā·yā

‘attagutto dāni kumāro nālaṁ pamādāyā’ti.

‘The boy can look after himself. He won’t be negligent.’
19

In the same way, I still need to look after a mendicant who hasn’t finished developing faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom regarding skillful qualities.

But when a mendicant has finished developing faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom regarding skillful qualities, I need not be concerned, thinking:
21

‘attagutto dāni bhikkhu nālaṁ pamādāyā’”ti.

‘They can look after themselves. They won’t be negligent.’”
