Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

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

Tena kho pana samayena aññatarena upāsakena bhikkhunisaṅgho lasuṇena pavārito hoti—

At that time a lay follower had invited the Sangha of nuns to ask for garlic:
10

“यासंyā·saṃ अय्यानंay·yā·naṃ लसुणेनla·su·ṇe·na अत्थो,at·tho अहंa·haṃ लसुणेना”ति।la·su·ṇe·nā

“yāsaṁ ayyānaṁ lasuṇena attho, ahaṁ lasuṇenā”ti.

“If any of the nuns need garlic, I’ll supply it.”
11

खेत्तपालोkhet·ta·pā·lo चca आणत्तोā·ṇat·to होति—ho·ti

Khettapālo ca āṇatto hoti—

And he had told his field-keeper,
12

“सचेsa·ce भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo आगच्छन्ति,ā·gac·chan·ti एकमेकायe·ka·me·kā·ya भिक्खुनियाbhik·khu·ni·yā द्वेतयोdve·ta·yo भण्डिकेbhaṇ·ḍi·ke देही”ति।de·hī

“sace bhikkhuniyo āgacchanti, ekamekāya bhikkhuniyā dvetayo bhaṇḍike dehī”ti.

“If the nuns come, give two or three bulbs to each nun.”

Tena kho pana samayena sāvatthiyaṁ ussavo hoti.

On that occasion they were holding a celebration in Sāvatthī,
14

Yathābhataṁ lasuṇaṁ parikkhayaṁ agamāsi.

and the garlic was used up as soon as it arrived there.
15

Bhikkhuniyo taṁ upāsakaṁ upasaṅkamitvā etadavocuṁ—

Just then the nuns went to that lay follower and said,
16

“लसुणेन,la·su·ṇe·na आवुसो,ā·vu·so अत्थो”ति।at·tho

“lasuṇena, āvuso, attho”ti.

“We need garlic.”

Thullanandā bhikkhunī khettaṁ gantvā na mattaṁ jānitvā bahuṁ lasuṇaṁ harāpesi.

The nun Thullanandā went to the field, and not having any sense of moderation she took a large amount of garlic.

“कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma भिक्खुनियोbhik·khu·ni·yo नna मत्तंmat·taṃ जानित्वाjā·nit·vā बहुंba·huṃ लसुणंla·su·ṇaṃ हरापेस्सन्ती”ति।ha·rā·pes·san·tī

“kathañhi nāma bhikkhuniyo na mattaṁ jānitvā bahuṁ lasuṇaṁ harāpessantī”ti.

“How could the nuns not have any sense of moderation and take a large amount of garlic?”
23

Assosuṁ kho bhikkhuniyo tassa khettapālassa ujjhāyantassa khiyyantassa vipācentassa.

The nuns heard the complaints of that field-keeper,

and the nuns of few desires complained and criticized her,
25

“कथञ्हिka·thañ·hi नामnā·ma अय्याay·yā थुल्लनन्दाthul·la·nan·dā नna मत्तंmat·taṃ जानित्वाjā·nit·vā बहुंba·huṃ लसुणंla·su·ṇaṃ हरापेस्सती”तिha·rā·pes·sa·tī …पे…pe

“saccaṁ kira, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī na mattaṁ jānitvā bahuṁ lasuṇaṁ harāpetī”ti?

“Is it true, monks, that the nun Thullanandā did this?”
27

“सच्चं,sac·caṃ भगवा”ति।bha·ga·vā

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.

“It’s true, sir.”
28

विगरहिvi·ga·ra·hi बुद्धोbud·dho भगवाbha·ga·vā …पे…pe

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…

The Buddha rebuked her,
29

kathañhi nāma, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī na mattaṁ jānitvā bahuṁ lasuṇaṁ harāpessati.

“How could the nun Thullanandā not have any sense of moderation and take a large amount of garlic?

dhammiṁ kathaṁ katvā bhikkhū āmantesi—

and after giving a teaching he addressed the monks:

“भूतपुब्बं,bhū·ta·pub·baṃ भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve थुल्लनन्दाthul·la·nan·dā भिक्खुनीbhik·khu·nī अञ्ञतरस्सañ·ña·ta·ras·sa ब्राह्मणस्सbrāh·ma·ṇas·sa पजापतिpa·jā·pa·ti अहोसि।a·ho·si

“Bhūtapubbaṁ, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī aññatarassa brāhmaṇassa pajāpati ahosi.

“Once upon a time, monks, Thullanandā was the wife of a brahmin.
34

तिस्सोtis·so चca धीतरो—dhī·ta·ro

Tisso ca dhītaro—

They had three daughters,
35

Atha kho, bhikkhave, so brāhmaṇo kālaṁ katvā aññataraṁ haṁsayoniṁ upapajji.

When that brahmin eventually died, he was reborn as a goose,
37

whose feathers were all made of gold.
38

सोso तासंtā·saṃ एकेकंe·ke·kaṃ पत्तंpat·taṃ देति।de·ti

So tāsaṁ ekekaṁ pattaṁ deti.

And he gave his former family members one feather at a time.
39

अथa·tha खो,kho भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve थुल्लनन्दाthul·la·nan·dā भिक्खुनीbhik·khu·nī ‘अयंa·yaṃ हंसोhaṃ·so अम्हाकंam·hā·kaṃ एकेकंe·ke·kaṃ पत्तंpat·taṃ देती’तिde·tī तंtaṃ हंसराजंhaṃ·sa·rā·jaṃ गहेत्वाga·het·vā निप्पत्तंnip·pat·taṃ अकासि।a·kā·si

Atha kho, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī ‘ayaṁ haṁso amhākaṁ ekekaṁ pattaṁ detī’ti taṁ haṁsarājaṁ gahetvā nippattaṁ akāsi.

Thullanandā considered this. She then grabbed hold of that king of geese and plucked him.
40

तस्सtas·sa पुनpu·na जायमानाjā·ya·mā·nā पत्ताpat·tā सेताse·tā सम्पज्जिंसु।sam·paj·jiṃ·su

Tassa puna jāyamānā pattā setā sampajjiṁsu.

But when his feathers regrew they were white.

Tadāpi, bhikkhave, thullanandā bhikkhunī atilobhena suvaṇṇā parihīnā.

At that time too, monks, Thullanandā lost her gold because she was too greedy.
42

इदानिi·dā·ni लसुणाla·su·ṇā परिहायिस्सतीति।pa·ri·hā·yis·sa·tī·ti

Idāni lasuṇā parihāyissatīti.

Now she will lose her garlic.”
43

यंyaṃ लद्धंlad·dhaṃ तेनte·na तुट्ठब्बं,tuṭ·ṭhab·baṃ

“One should be content with what one gets,
44

अतिलोभोa·ti·lo·bho हिhi पापको;pā·pa·ko

Atilobho hi pāpako;

Because excessive greed is bad.
45

हंसराजंhaṃ·sa·rā·jaṃ गहेत्वान,ga·het·vā·na

After grabbing hold of the king of geese,
46

Suvaṇṇā parihāyathā”ti.

The gold came to an end.”

Atha kho bhagavā thullanandaṁ bhikkhuniṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā dubbharatāya …pe…

Then, after rebuking the nun Thullanandā in many ways, the Buddha spoke in dispraise of being difficult to support …
48

“And, monks, the nuns should recite this training rule like this:

“Yā pana bhikkhunī lasuṇaṁ khādeyya pācittiyan”ti.
