Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

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

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā nandako upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ bhikkhū dhammiyā kathāya sandasseti samādapeti samuttejeti sampahaṁseti.

Now at that time Venerable Nandaka was educating, encouraging, firing up, and inspiring the mendicants in the assembly hall with a Dhamma talk.
6

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā सायन्हसमयंsā·yan·ha·sa·ma·yaṃ पटिसल्लानाpa·ṭi·sal·lā·nā वुट्ठितोvuṭ·ṭhi·to येनुपट्ठानसालाye·nu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·lā तेनुपसङ्कमि;te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·mi उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā बहिद्वारकोट्ठकेba·hid·vā·ra·koṭ·ṭha·ke अट्ठासिaṭ·ṭhā·si कथापरियोसानंka·thā·pa·ri·yo·sā·naṃ आगमयमानो।ā·ga·ma·ya·mā·no

Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to the assembly hall. He stood outside the door waiting for the talk to end.
7

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā कथापरियोसानंka·thā·pa·ri·yo·sā·naṃ विदित्वाvi·dit·vā उक्कासेत्वाuk·kā·set·vā अग्गळंag·ga·ḷaṃ आकोटेसि।ā·ko·ṭe·si

Atha kho bhagavā kathāpariyosānaṁ viditvā ukkāsetvā aggaḷaṁ ākoṭesi.

When he knew the talk had ended he cleared his throat and knocked on the door-panel.
8

Vivariṁsu kho te bhikkhū bhagavato dvāraṁ.

The mendicants opened the door for the Buddha,
9

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā उपट्ठानसालंu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·laṃ पविसित्वाpa·vi·sit·vā पञ्ञत्तासनेpañ·ñat·tā·sa·ne निसीदि।ni·sī·di

Atha kho bhagavā upaṭṭhānasālaṁ pavisitvā paññattāsane nisīdi.

and he entered the assembly hall, where he sat down on the seat spread out.
10

निसज्जni·saj·ja खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ नन्दकंnan·da·kaṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Nisajja kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ nandakaṁ etadavoca:

He said to Nandaka,
11

“दीघोdī·gho खोkho त्यायं,tyā·yaṃ नन्दक,nan·da·ka धम्मपरियायोdham·ma·pa·ri·yā·yo भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ पटिभासि।pa·ṭi·bhā·si

“dīgho kho tyāyaṁ, nandaka, dhammapariyāyo bhikkhūnaṁ paṭibhāsi.

“Nandaka, that was a long exposition of the teaching you gave to the mendicants.
12

Api me piṭṭhi āgilāyati bahidvārakoṭṭhake ṭhitassa kathāpariyosānaṁ āgamayamānassā”ti.

My back was aching while I stood outside the door waiting for the talk to end.”
13

एवंe·vaṃ वुत्ते,vut·te आयस्माā·yas·mā नन्दकोnan·da·ko सारज्जमानरूपोsā·raj·ja·mā·na·rū·po भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā nandako sārajjamānarūpo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

When he said this, Nandaka felt embarrassed and said to the Buddha,
14

“नna खोkho पनpa·na मयं,ma·yaṃ भन्ते,bhan·te जानामjā·nā·ma ‘भगवाbha·ga·vā बहिद्वारकोट्ठकेba·hid·vā·ra·koṭ·ṭha·ke ठितो’ति।ṭhi·to

“na kho pana mayaṁ, bhante, jānāma ‘bhagavā bahidvārakoṭṭhake ṭhito’ti.

“Sir, we didn’t know that the Buddha was standing outside the door.
15

If we’d known, I wouldn’t have said so much.”
16

Atha kho bhagavā āyasmantaṁ nandakaṁ sārajjamānarūpaṁ viditvā āyasmantaṁ nandakaṁ etadavoca:

Then the Buddha, knowing that Nandaka was embarrassed, said to him,
17

“साधुsā·dhu साधु,sā·dhu नन्दक।nan·da·ka

“sādhu sādhu, nandaka.

“Good, good, Nandaka!
18

Etaṁ kho, nandaka, tumhākaṁ patirūpaṁ kulaputtānaṁ saddhāya agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajitānaṁ, yaṁ tumhe dhammiyā kathāya sannisīdeyyātha.

It’s appropriate for gentlemen like you, who have gone forth out of faith from the lay life to homelessness, to sit together for a Dhamma talk.
19

Sannipatitānaṁ vo, nandaka, dvayaṁ karaṇīyaṁ—

When you’re sitting together you should do one of two things:
20

21

41

इदमवोचi·da·ma·vo·ca भगवा।bha·ga·vā

Idamavoca bhagavā.

That is what the Buddha said.
42

Then, not long after the Buddha left, Venerable Nandaka said to the mendicants,
44

“इदानि,i·dā·ni आवुसो,ā·vu·so भगवाbha·ga·vā चतूहिca·tū·hi पदेहिpa·de·hi केवलपरिपुण्णंke·va·la·pa·ri·puṇ·ṇaṃ परिसुद्धंpa·ri·sud·dhaṃ ब्रह्मचरियंbrah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ पकासेत्वाpa·kā·set·vā उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā विहारंvi·hā·raṃ पविट्ठो:pa·viṭ·ṭho

“Just now, reverends, the Buddha revealed a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure in four statements, before getting up from his seat and entering his dwelling:
45

‘सद्धोsad·dho च,ca नन्दक,nan·da·ka भिक्खुbhik·khu होति,ho·ti नोno चca सीलवा।sī·la·vā
