   A Gift With Six Factors

4. 4

   एकंe·kaṃ समयंsa·ma·yaṃ भगवाbha·ga·vā सावत्थियंsā·vat·thi·yaṃ विहरतिvi·ha·ra·ti जेतवनेje·ta·va·ne अनाथपिण्डिकस्सa·nā·tha·piṇ·ḍi·kas·sa आरामे।ā·rā·me

   Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

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

5. 5

   तेनte·na खोkho पनpa·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na वेळुकण्डकीve·ḷu·kaṇ·ḍa·kī नन्दमाताnan·da·mā·tā उपासिकाu·pā·si·kā सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानप्पमुखेsā·ri·put·ta·mog·gal·lā·nap·pa·mu·khe भिक्खुसङ्घेbhik·khu·saṅ·ghe छळङ्गसमन्नागतंcha·ḷaṅ·ga·sa·man·nā·ga·taṃ दक्खिणंdak·khi·ṇaṃ पतिट्ठापेति।pa·tiṭ·ṭhā·pe·ti

   Tena kho pana samayena veḷukaṇḍakī nandamātā upāsikā sāriputtamoggallānappamukhe bhikkhusaṅghe chaḷaṅgasamannāgataṁ dakkhiṇaṁ patiṭṭhāpeti.

   Now at that time Veḷukaṇṭakī, Nanda’s mother, was preparing a religious donation with six factors for the mendicant Saṅgha headed by Sāriputta and Moggallāna.

6. 6

   अद्दसाad·da·sā खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā दिब्बेनdib·be·na चक्खुनाcak·khu·nā विसुद्धेनvi·sud·dhe·na अतिक्कन्तमानुसकेनa·tik·kan·ta·mā·nu·sa·ke·na वेळुकण्डकिंve·ḷu·kaṇ·ḍa·kiṃ नन्दमातरंnan·da·mā·ta·raṃ उपासिकंu·pā·si·kaṃ सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानप्पमुखेsā·ri·put·ta·mog·gal·lā·nap·pa·mu·khe भिक्खुसङ्घेbhik·khu·saṅ·ghe छळङ्गसमन्नागतंcha·ḷaṅ·ga·sa·man·nā·ga·taṃ दक्खिणंdak·khi·ṇaṃ पतिट्ठापेन्तिं।pa·tiṭ·ṭhā·pen·tiṃ

   The Buddha saw her doing this, with his clairvoyance that is purified and superhuman,

7. 7

   दिस्वाdis·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

   Disvā bhikkhū āmantesi:

   and he addressed the mendicants:

8. 8

   “एसा,e·sā भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve वेळुकण्डकीve·ḷu·kaṇ·ḍa·kī नन्दमाताnan·da·mā·tā उपासिकाu·pā·si·kā सारिपुत्तमोग्गल्लानप्पमुखेsā·ri·put·ta·mog·gal·lā·nap·pa·mu·khe भिक्खुसङ्घेbhik·khu·saṅ·ghe छळङ्गसमन्नागतंcha·ḷaṅ·ga·sa·man·nā·ga·taṃ दक्खिणंdak·khi·ṇaṃ पतिट्ठापेति।pa·tiṭ·ṭhā·pe·ti

   “esā, bhikkhave, veḷukaṇḍakī nandamātā upāsikā sāriputtamoggallānappamukhe bhikkhusaṅghe chaḷaṅgasamannāgataṁ dakkhiṇaṁ patiṭṭhāpeti.

   “This Veḷukaṇṭakī, Nanda’s mother, is preparing a religious donation with six factors for the mendicant Saṅgha headed by Sāriputta and Moggallāna.

9. 9

   कथञ्च,ka·thañ·ca भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve छळङ्गसमन्नागताcha·ḷaṅ·ga·sa·man·nā·ga·tā दक्खिणाdak·khi·ṇā होति?ho·ti

   Kathañca, bhikkhave, chaḷaṅgasamannāgatā dakkhiṇā hoti?

   And how does a religious donation have six factors?

10. 10

    इध,i·dha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve दायकस्सdā·ya·kas·sa तीणङ्गानिtī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni होन्ति,hon·ti पटिग्गाहकानंpa·ṭig·gā·ha·kā·naṃ तीणङ्गानि।tī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni

    Idha, bhikkhave, dāyakassa tīṇaṅgāni honti, paṭiggāhakānaṁ tīṇaṅgāni.

    Three factors apply to the donor and three to the recipients.

11. 11

    कतमानिka·ta·mā·ni दायकस्सdā·ya·kas·sa तीणङ्गानि?tī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni

    Katamāni dāyakassa tīṇaṅgāni?

    What three factors apply to the donor?

12. 12

    इध,i·dha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve दायकोdā·ya·ko पुब्बेवpub·be·va दानाdā·nā सुमनोsu·ma·no होति,ho·ti ददंda·daṃ चित्तंcit·taṃ पसादेति,pa·sā·de·ti दत्वाdat·vā अत्तमनोat·ta·ma·no होति।ho·ti

    Idha, bhikkhave, dāyako pubbeva dānā sumano hoti, dadaṁ cittaṁ pasādeti, datvā attamano hoti.

    It’s when a donor is in a good mood before giving, while giving they feel confident, and after giving they’re uplifted.

13. 13

    इमानिi·mā·ni दायकस्सdā·ya·kas·sa तीणङ्गानि।tī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni

    Imāni dāyakassa tīṇaṅgāni.

    These three factors apply to the donor.

14. 14

    कतमानिka·ta·mā·ni पटिग्गाहकानंpa·ṭig·gā·ha·kā·naṃ तीणङ्गानि?tī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni

    Katamāni paṭiggāhakānaṁ tīṇaṅgāni?

    What three factors apply to the recipients?

15. 15

    इध,i·dha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve पटिग्गाहकाpa·ṭig·gā·ha·kā वीतरागाvī·ta·rā·gā वाvā होन्तिhon·ti रागविनयायrā·ga·vi·na·yā·ya वाvā पटिपन्ना,pa·ṭi·pan·nā वीतदोसाvī·ta·do·sā वाvā होन्तिhon·ti दोसविनयायdo·sa·vi·na·yā·ya वाvā पटिपन्ना,pa·ṭi·pan·nā वीतमोहाvī·ta·mo·hā वाvā होन्तिhon·ti मोहविनयायmo·ha·vi·na·yā·ya वाvā पटिपन्ना।pa·ṭi·pan·nā

    Idha, bhikkhave, paṭiggāhakā vītarāgā vā honti rāgavinayāya vā paṭipannā, vītadosā vā honti dosavinayāya vā paṭipannā, vītamohā vā honti mohavinayāya vā paṭipannā.

    It’s when the recipients are free of greed, hate, and delusion, or practicing to be free of them.

16. 16

    इमानिi·mā·ni पटिग्गाहकानंpa·ṭig·gā·ha·kā·naṃ तीणङ्गानि।tī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni

    Imāni paṭiggāhakānaṁ tīṇaṅgāni.

    These three factors apply to the recipients.

17. 17

    इतिi·ti दायकस्सdā·ya·kas·sa तीणङ्गानि,tī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni पटिग्गाहकानंpa·ṭig·gā·ha·kā·naṃ तीणङ्गानि।tī·ṇaṅ·gā·ni

    Iti dāyakassa tīṇaṅgāni, paṭiggāhakānaṁ tīṇaṅgāni.

    Thus three factors apply to the donor and three to the recipients.

18. 18

    एवंe·vaṃ खो,kho भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve छळङ्गसमन्नागताcha·ḷaṅ·ga·sa·man·nā·ga·tā दक्खिणाdak·khi·ṇā होति।ho·ti

    Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, chaḷaṅgasamannāgatā dakkhiṇā hoti.

    That’s how a religious donation has six factors.

19. 19

    एवंe·vaṃ छळङ्गसमन्नागताय,cha·ḷaṅ·ga·sa·man·nā·ga·tā·ya भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve दक्खिणायdak·khi·ṇā·ya नna सुकरंsu·ka·raṃ पुञ्ञस्सpuñ·ñas·sa पमाणंpa·mā·ṇaṃ गहेतुं:ga·he·tuṃ

    Evaṁ chaḷaṅgasamannāgatāya, bhikkhave, dakkhiṇāya na sukaraṁ puññassa pamāṇaṁ gahetuṁ:

    It’s not easy to grasp the merit of such a six-factored donation by saying that

20. 20

    ‘एत्तकोet·ta·ko पुञ्ञाभिसन्दोpuñ·ñā·bhi·san·do कुसलाभिसन्दोku·sa·lā·bhi·san·do सुखस्साहारोsu·khas·sā·hā·ro सोवग्गिकोso·vag·gi·ko सुखविपाकोsu·kha·vi·pā·ko सग्गसंवत्तनिकोsag·ga·saṃ·vat·ta·ni·ko इट्ठायiṭ·ṭhā·ya कन्तायkan·tā·ya मनापायma·nā·pā·ya हितायhi·tā·ya सुखायsu·khā·ya संवत्तती’ति।saṃ·vat·ta·tī

    this is the extent of their overflowing merit, overflowing goodness that nurtures happiness and is conducive to heaven, ripening in happiness and leading to heaven. And it leads to what is likable, desirable, agreeable, to welfare and happiness.

21. 21

    अथa·tha खोkho असङ्ख्येय्योa·saṅ·khyey·yo अप्पमेय्योap·pa·mey·yo महापुञ्ञक्खन्धोत्वेवma·hā·puñ·ñak·khan·dhot·ve·va सङ्खंsaṅ·khaṃ गच्छति।gac·cha·ti

    Atha kho asaṅkhyeyyo appameyyo mahāpuññakkhandhotveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati.

    It’s simply reckoned as an incalculable, immeasurable, great mass of merit.

22. 22

    सेय्यथापि,sey·ya·thā·pi भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve महासमुद्देma·hā·sa·mud·de नna सुकरंsu·ka·raṃ उदकस्सu·da·kas·sa पमाणंpa·mā·ṇaṃ गहेतुं:ga·he·tuṃ

    Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, mahāsamudde na sukaraṁ udakassa pamāṇaṁ gahetuṁ:

    It’s like trying to grasp how much water is in the ocean. It’s not easy to say

23. 23

    ‘एत्तकानिet·ta·kā·ni उदकाळ्हकानीतिu·da·kā·ḷha·kā·nī·ti वाvā एत्तकानिet·ta·kā·ni उदकाळ्हकसतानीतिu·da·kā·ḷha·ka·sa·tā·nī·ti वाvā एत्तकानिet·ta·kā·ni उदकाळ्हकसहस्सानीतिu·da·kā·ḷha·ka·sa·has·sā·nī·ti वाvā एत्तकानिet·ta·kā·ni उदकाळ्हकसतसहस्सानी’तिu·da·kā·ḷha·ka·sa·ta·sa·has·sā·nī वा।vā

    how many gallons, how many hundreds, thousands, hundreds of thousands of gallons there are.

    Atha kho asaṅkhyeyyo appameyyo mahāudakakkhandhotveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati.

    It’s simply reckoned as an incalculable, immeasurable, great mass of water.

25. 25

    Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, evaṁ chaḷaṅgasamannāgatāya dakkhiṇāya na sukaraṁ puññassa pamāṇaṁ gahetuṁ:

    In the same way, it’s not easy to grasp the merit of such a six-factored donation …

26. 26
