   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

   अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā पुब्बण्हसमयंpub·baṇ·ha·sa·ma·yaṃ निवासेत्वाni·vā·set·vā पत्तचीवरमादायpat·ta·cī·va·ra·mā·dā·ya सावत्थियंsā·vat·thi·yaṃ पिण्डायpiṇ·ḍā·ya पाविसि।pā·vi·si

   Atha kho bhagavā pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā pattacīvaramādāya sāvatthiyaṁ piṇḍāya pāvisi.

   Then the Buddha robed up in the morning and, taking his bowl and robe, entered Sāvatthī for alms.

6. 6

   सावत्थियंsā·vat·thi·yaṃ पिण्डायpiṇ·ḍā·ya चरित्वाca·rit·vā पच्छाभत्तंpac·chā·bhat·taṃ पिण्डपातपटिक्कन्तोpiṇ·ḍa·pā·ta·pa·ṭik·kan·to आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ आनन्दंā·nan·daṃ आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

   Sāvatthiyaṁ piṇḍāya caritvā pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkanto āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi:

   Then, after the meal, on his return from almsround, he addressed Venerable Ānanda,

7. 7

   “आयामानन्द,ā·yā·mā·nan·da येनye·na पुब्बारामोpub·bā·rā·mo मिगारमातुपासादोmi·gā·ra·mā·tu·pā·sā·do तेनुपसङ्कमिस्सामte·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·mis·sā·ma दिवाविहाराया”ति।di·vā·vi·hā·rā·yā

   “āyāmānanda, yena pubbārāmo migāramātupāsādo tenupasaṅkamissāma divāvihārāyā”ti.

   “Come, Ānanda, let’s go to the stilt longhouse of Migāra’s mother in the Eastern Monastery for the day’s meditation.”

8. 8

   “एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”तिbhan·te खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do भगवतोbha·ga·va·to पच्चस्सोसि।pac·cas·so·si

   “Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.

   “Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.

9. 9

   अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā आयस्मताā·yas·ma·tā आनन्देनā·nan·de·na सद्धिंsad·dhiṃ येनye·na पुब्बारामोpub·bā·rā·mo मिगारमातुपासादोmi·gā·ra·mā·tu·pā·sā·do तेनुपसङ्कमि।te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·mi

   Atha kho bhagavā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ yena pubbārāmo migāramātupāsādo tenupasaṅkami.

   So the Buddha went with Ānanda to the Eastern Monastery.

10. 10

    अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā सायन्हसमयंsā·yan·ha·sa·ma·yaṃ पटिसल्लानाpa·ṭi·sal·lā·nā वुट्ठितोvuṭ·ṭhi·to आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ आनन्दंā·nan·daṃ आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

    Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito āyasmantaṁ ānandaṁ āmantesi:

    In the late afternoon the Buddha came out of retreat and addressed Ānanda,

11. 11

    “आयामानन्द,ā·yā·mā·nan·da येनye·na पुब्बकोट्ठकोpub·ba·koṭ·ṭha·ko तेनुपसङ्कमिस्सामte·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·mis·sā·ma गत्तानिgat·tā·ni परिसिञ्चितुन्”ति।pa·ri·siñ·ci·tun

    “āyāmānanda, yena pubbakoṭṭhako tenupasaṅkamissāma gattāni parisiñcitun”ti.

    “Come, Ānanda, let’s go to the eastern gate to bathe.”

12. 12

    “एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”तिbhan·te खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do भगवतोbha·ga·va·to पच्चस्सोसि।pac·cas·so·si

    “Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho āyasmā ānando bhagavato paccassosi.

    “Yes, sir,” Ānanda replied.

13. 13

    अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā आयस्मताā·yas·ma·tā आनन्देनā·nan·de·na सद्धिंsad·dhiṃ येनye·na पुब्बकोट्ठकोpub·ba·koṭ·ṭha·ko तेनुपसङ्कमिte·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·mi गत्तानिgat·tā·ni परिसिञ्चितुं।pa·ri·siñ·ci·tuṃ

    Atha kho bhagavā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ yena pubbakoṭṭhako tenupasaṅkami gattāni parisiñcituṁ.

    So the Buddha went with Ānanda to the eastern gate to bathe.

14. 14

    पुब्बकोट्ठकेpub·ba·koṭ·ṭha·ke गत्तानिgat·tā·ni परिसिञ्चित्वाpa·ri·siñ·cit·vā पच्चुत्तरित्वाpac·cut·ta·rit·vā एकचीवरोe·ka·cī·va·ro अट्ठासिaṭ·ṭhā·si गत्तानिgat·tā·ni पुब्बापयमानो।pub·bā·pa·ya·mā·no

    Pubbakoṭṭhake gattāni parisiñcitvā paccuttaritvā ekacīvaro aṭṭhāsi gattāni pubbāpayamāno.

    When he had bathed and emerged from the water he stood in one robe drying his limbs.

15. 15

    Tena kho pana samayena rañño pasenadissa kosalassa seto nāma nāgo mahātūriyatāḷitavāditena pubbakoṭṭhakā paccuttarati.

    Now, at that time King Pasenadi had a giant bull elephant called “White”. It emerged from the eastern gate to the beating and playing of musical instruments.

16. 16

    अपिस्सुa·pis·su तंtaṃ जनोja·no दिस्वाdis·vā एवमाह:e·va·mā·ha

    Apissu taṁ jano disvā evamāha:

    When people saw it they said,

17. 17

    “अभिरूपोa·bhi·rū·po वतva·ta भोbho रञ्ञोrañ·ño नागो;nā·go दस्सनीयोdas·sa·nī·yo वतva·ta भोbho रञ्ञोrañ·ño नागो;nā·go पासादिकोpā·sā·di·ko वत,va·ta भो,bho रञ्ञोrañ·ño नागो,nā·go कायुपपन्नोkā·yu·pa·pan·no वतva·ta भोbho रञ्ञोrañ·ño नागो”ति।nā·go

    “abhirūpo vata bho rañño nāgo; dassanīyo vata bho rañño nāgo; pāsādiko vata, bho, rañño nāgo, kāyupapanno vata bho rañño nāgo”ti.

    “The royal giant is so handsome! The royal giant is so good-looking! The royal giant is so lovely! The royal giant has such a big body!”

18. 18

    एवंe·vaṃ वुत्ते,vut·te आयस्माā·yas·mā उदायीu·dā·yī भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

    Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā udāyī bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

    When they said this, Venerable Udāyī said to the Buddha,

19. 19

    “हत्थिमेवhat·thi·me·va नुnu खो,kho भन्ते,bhan·te महन्तंma·han·taṃ ब्रहन्तंbra·han·taṃ कायुपपन्नंkā·yu·pa·pan·naṃ जनोja·no दिस्वाdis·vā एवमाह:e·va·mā·ha

    “hatthimeva nu kho, bhante, mahantaṁ brahantaṁ kāyupapannaṁ jano disvā evamāha:

    “Sir, is it only when they see elephants with such a big, formidable body that people say:

20. 20

    ‘नागोnā·go वतva·ta भोbho नागो’ति,nā·go उदाहुu·dā·hu अञ्ञम्पिañ·ñam·pi कञ्चिkañ·ci महन्तंma·han·taṃ ब्रहन्तंbra·han·taṃ कायुपपन्नंkā·yu·pa·pan·naṃ जनोja·no दिस्वाdis·vā एवमाह:e·va·mā·ha ‘नागोnā·go वतva·ta भोbho नागो’”ति?nā·go

    ‘nāgo vata bho nāgo’ti, udāhu aññampi kañci mahantaṁ brahantaṁ kāyupapannaṁ jano disvā evamāha: ‘nāgo vata bho nāgo’”ti?

    ‘A giant, such a giant’? Or do they say it when they see any other creatures with big, formidable bodies?”

21. 21

    “हत्थिम्पिhat·thim·pi खो,kho उदायि,u·dā·yi महन्तंma·han·taṃ ब्रहन्तंbra·han·taṃ कायुपपन्नंkā·yu·pa·pan·naṃ जनोja·no दिस्वाdis·vā एवमाह:e·va·mā·ha

    “Hatthimpi kho, udāyi, mahantaṁ brahantaṁ kāyupapannaṁ jano disvā evamāha:

    “Udāyī, when they see elephants with such a big, formidable body people say:

22. 22

    ‘नागोnā·go वतva·ta भोbho नागो’ति।nā·go

    ‘nāgo vata bho nāgo’ti.

    ‘A giant, such a giant!’

    And when they see a human being with such a big, formidable body people say:

28. 28

    ‘नागोnā·go वत,va·ta भो,bho नागो’ति।nā·go

    ‘nāgo vata, bho, nāgo’ti.

    ‘A giant, such a giant!’

    But Udāyī, one who does nothing monstrous by way of body, speech, and mind is who I call a ‘giant’ in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.”

30. 30

    “अच्छरियं,ac·cha·ri·yaṃ भन्ते,bhan·te अब्भुतं,ab·bhu·taṃ भन्ते।bhan·te

    “Acchariyaṁ, bhante, abbhutaṁ, bhante.

    “It’s incredible, sir, it’s amazing!

    ‘But Udāyī, one who does nothing monstrous by way of body, speech, and mind is who I call a “giant” in this world with its gods, Māras, and divinities, this population with its ascetics and brahmins, its gods and humans.’

33. 33

    Idañca panāhaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā subhāsitaṁ imāhi gāthāhi anumodāmi—

    And I celebrate the well-spoken words of the Buddha with these verses:
