“Reverend Sāriputta, how does a mendicant get to hear a teaching they haven’t heard before? How do they remember those teachings they have heard? How do they keep exercising the teachings with which they are already familiar? And how do they come to understand what they haven’t understood before?”

“आयस्माā·yas·mā खोkho आनन्दोā·nan·do बहुस्सुतो।ba·hus·su·to

“Āyasmā kho ānando bahussuto.

“Well, Venerable Ānanda, you’re very learned.

“Tenahāvuso sāriputta, suṇāhi, sādhukaṁ manasi karohi; bhāsissāmī”ti.

“Well then, Reverend Sāriputta, listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.”

Then, just as they learned and memorized it, they teach others in detail, make them recite in detail, they rehearse it themselves in detail, and they think about and consider the teaching in their heart, examining it with the mind.

They enter the rains retreat in a monastery with senior mendicants who are very learned, inheritors of the heritage, who have memorized the teachings, the monastic law, and the outlines.

From time to time they go up to those mendicants and ask them questions:
17

‘इदं,i·daṃ भन्ते,bhan·te कथं;ka·thaṃ इमस्सi·mas·sa क्वत्थो’ति?kvat·tho

‘idaṁ, bhante, kathaṁ; imassa kvattho’ti?

‘Why, sir, does it say this? What does that mean?’

Those venerables reveal what is hidden, clarify what is unclear, and dispel doubt regarding the many doubtful matters.

This is how a mendicant gets to hear a teaching they haven’t heard before. It’s how they remember those teachings they have heard. It’s how they keep exercising the teachings with which they are already familiar. And it’s how they come to understand what they haven’t understood before.”
20

“अच्छरियं,ac·cha·ri·yaṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so अब्भुतं,ab·bhu·taṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so यावyā·va सुभासितञ्चिदंsu·bhā·si·tañ·ci·daṃ आयस्मताā·yas·ma·tā आनन्देन।ā·nan·de·na
