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

तेनte·na खोkho पनpa·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na आयस्माā·yas·mā चca खेमोkhe·mo आयस्माā·yas·mā चca सुमनोsu·ma·no सावत्थियंsā·vat·thi·yaṃ विहरन्तिvi·ha·ran·ti अन्धवनस्मिं।an·dha·va·nas·miṃ

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā ca khemo āyasmā ca sumano sāvatthiyaṁ viharanti andhavanasmiṁ.

Now at that time Venerable Khema and Venerable Sumana were staying near Sāvatthī in the Dark Forest.
6

Atha kho āyasmā ca khemo āyasmā ca sumano yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho āyasmā khemo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

Then they went up to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. Venerable Khema said to the Buddha:
7

“योyo सो,so भन्ते,bhan·te भिक्खुbhik·khu अरहंa·ra·haṃ खीणासवोkhī·ṇā·sa·vo वुसितवाvu·si·ta·vā कतकरणीयोka·ta·ka·ra·ṇī·yo ओहितभारोo·hi·ta·bhā·ro अनुप्पत्तसदत्थोa·nup·pat·ta·sa·dat·tho परिक्खीणभवसंयोजनोpa·rik·khī·ṇa·bha·va·saṃ·yo·ja·no सम्मदञ्ञाविमुत्तोsam·ma·dañ·ñā·vi·mut·to तस्सtas·sa नna एवंe·vaṃ होति:ho·ti

“Sir, a mendicant who is perfected—with defilements ended, who has completed the spiritual journey, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, achieved their heart’s goal, utterly ended the fetter of continued existence, and is rightly freed through enlightenment—does not think:
8

‘अत्थिat·thi मेme सेय्योतिsey·yo·ti वाvā अत्थिat·thi मेme सदिसोतिsa·di·so·ti वाvā अत्थिat·thi मेme हीनोतिhī·no·ti वा’”ति।vā

‘atthi me seyyoti vā atthi me sadisoti vā atthi me hīnoti vā’”ti.

‘There is someone better than me, or equal to me, or worse than me.’”
9

इदमवोचायस्माi·da·ma·vo·cā·yas·mā खेमो।khe·mo

Idamavocāyasmā khemo.

That is what Khema said,
10

समनुञ्ञोsa·ma·nuñ·ño सत्थाsat·thā अहोसि।a·ho·si

Samanuñño satthā ahosi.

and the Teacher concurred.
11

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā खेमोkhe·mo “समनुञ्ञोsa·ma·nuñ·ño मेme सत्था”तिsat·thā उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ अभिवादेत्वाa·bhi·vā·det·vā पदक्खिणंpa·dak·khi·ṇaṃ कत्वाkat·vā पक्कामि।pak·kā·mi

Atha kho āyasmā khemo “samanuñño me satthā”ti uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.

Then Khema, knowing that the Teacher concurred, got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.
12

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā सुमनोsu·ma·no अचिरपक्कन्तेa·ci·ra·pak·kan·te आयस्मन्तेā·yas·man·te खेमेkhe·me भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho āyasmā sumano acirapakkante āyasmante kheme bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

And then, not long after Khema had left, Sumana said to the Buddha:
13

“योyo सो,so भन्ते,bhan·te भिक्खुbhik·khu अरहंa·ra·haṃ खीणासवोkhī·ṇā·sa·vo वुसितवाvu·si·ta·vā कतकरणीयोka·ta·ka·ra·ṇī·yo ओहितभारोo·hi·ta·bhā·ro अनुप्पत्तसदत्थोa·nup·pat·ta·sa·dat·tho परिक्खीणभवसंयोजनोpa·rik·khī·ṇa·bha·va·saṃ·yo·ja·no सम्मदञ्ञाविमुत्तोsam·ma·dañ·ñā·vi·mut·to तस्सtas·sa नna एवंe·vaṃ होति:ho·ti

“Sir, a mendicant who is perfected—with defilements ended, who has completed the spiritual journey, done what had to be done, laid down the burden, achieved their heart’s goal, utterly ended the fetter of continued existence, and is rightly freed through enlightenment—does not think:
14

‘नत्थिnat·thi मेme सेय्योतिsey·yo·ti वाvā नत्थिnat·thi मेme सदिसोतिsa·di·so·ti वाvā नत्थिnat·thi मेme हीनोतिhī·no·ti वा’”ति।vā

‘natthi me seyyoti vā natthi me sadisoti vā natthi me hīnoti vā’”ti.

‘There is no one better than me, or equal to me, or worse than me.’”
15

इदमवोचायस्माi·da·ma·vo·cā·yas·mā सुमनो।su·ma·no

Idamavocāyasmā sumano.

That is what Sumana said,
16

समनुञ्ञोsa·ma·nuñ·ño सत्थाsat·thā अहोसि।a·ho·si

Samanuñño satthā ahosi.

and the Teacher concurred.
17

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā सुमनोsu·ma·no “समनुञ्ञोsa·ma·nuñ·ño मेme सत्था”तिsat·thā उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ अभिवादेत्वाa·bhi·vā·det·vā पदक्खिणंpa·dak·khi·ṇaṃ कत्वाkat·vā पक्कामि।pak·kā·mi

Atha kho āyasmā sumano “samanuñño me satthā”ti uṭṭhāyāsanā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.

Then Sumana, knowing that the Teacher concurred, got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.
18

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā अचिरपक्कन्तेसुa·ci·ra·pak·kan·te·su आयस्मन्तेā·yas·man·te चca खेमेkhe·me आयस्मन्तेā·yas·man·te चca सुमनेsu·ma·ne भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

Atha kho bhagavā acirapakkantesu āyasmante ca kheme āyasmante ca sumane bhikkhū āmantesi:

Then, not long after Khema and Sumana had left, the Buddha addressed the mendicants:
19

“एवंe·vaṃ खो,kho भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve कुलपुत्ताku·la·put·tā अञ्ञंañ·ñaṃ ब्याकरोन्ति।byā·ka·ron·ti

“evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, kulaputtā aññaṁ byākaronti.

“Mendicants, this is how gentlemen declare enlightenment.
20

अत्थोat·tho चca वुत्तोvut·to अत्ताat·tā चca अनुपनीतो।a·nu·pa·nī·to

Attho ca vutto attā ca anupanīto.

The goal is spoken of, but the self is not involved.
21

अथa·tha चca पनpa·na इधेकच्चेi·dhe·kac·ce मोघपुरिसाmo·gha·pu·ri·sā हसमानकाha·sa·mā·na·kā मञ्ञेmañ·ñe अञ्ञंañ·ñaṃ ब्याकरोन्ति।byā·ka·ron·ti

Atha ca pana idhekacce moghapurisā hasamānakā maññe aññaṁ byākaronti.

But it seems that there are some futile men here who declare enlightenment as a joke.
22

तेte पच्छाpac·chā विघातंvi·ghā·taṃ आपज्जन्तीति।ā·paj·jan·tī·ti

Te pacchā vighātaṁ āpajjantīti.

Later they will fall into distress.
23

नna उस्सेसुus·se·su नna ओमेसु,o·me·su

Na ussesu na omesu,

They don’t represent themselves
24

समत्तेsa·mat·te नोपनीयरे;no·pa·nī·ya·re

Samatte nopanīyare;

as being among superiors, inferiors, or equals.
25

Khīṇā jāti vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ,

Rebirth is ended, <j>the spiritual journey has been completed.
26

Caranti saṁyojanavippamuttā”ti.

They live freed from fetters.”
