    “Householder’s son, that’s not how the six directions should be revered in the training of the Noble One.”

19. 19

    “यथाya·thā कथंka·thaṃ पन,pa·na भन्ते,bhan·te अरियस्सa·ri·yas·sa विनयेvi·na·ye छcha दिसाdi·sā नमस्सितब्बा?na·mas·si·tab·bā

    “Tena hi, gahapatiputta, suṇohi sādhukaṁ manasikarohi bhāsissāmī”ti.

    “Well then, householder’s son, listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.”

22. 22

    “एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”तिbhan·te खोkho सिङ्गालकोsiṅ·gā·la·ko गहपतिपुत्तोga·ha·pa·ti·put·to भगवतोbha·ga·va·to पच्चस्सोसि।pac·cas·so·si

23. 23

    भगवाbha·ga·vā एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

    Bhagavā etadavoca:

    The Buddha said this:

24. 24

    “यतोya·to खो,kho गहपतिपुत्त,ga·ha·pa·ti·put·ta अरियसावकस्सa·ri·ya·sā·va·kas·sa चत्तारोcat·tā·ro कम्मकिलेसाkam·ma·ki·le·sā पहीनाpa·hī·nā होन्ति,hon·ti चतूहिca·tū·hi चca ठानेहिṭhā·ne·hi पापकम्मंpā·pa·kam·maṃ नna करोति,ka·ro·ti छcha चca भोगानंbho·gā·naṃ अपायमुखानिa·pā·ya·mu·khā·ni नna सेवति,se·va·ti सोso एवंe·vaṃ चुद्दसcud·da·sa पापकापगतोpā·pa·kā·pa·ga·to छद्दिसापटिच्छादीchad·di·sā·pa·ṭic·chā·dī

    “Householder’s son, a noble disciple gives up four corrupt deeds, doesn’t do bad deeds on four grounds, and avoids six drains on wealth. When they’ve left these fourteen bad things behind they have the six directions covered.

25. 25

    उभोलोकविजयायu·bho·lo·ka·vi·ja·yā·ya पटिपन्नोpa·ṭi·pan·no होति।ho·ti तस्सtas·sa अयञ्चेवa·yañ·ce·va लोकोlo·ko आरद्धोā·rad·dho होतिho·ti परोpa·ro चca लोको।lo·ko

    ubholokavijayāya paṭipanno hoti. Tassa ayañceva loko āraddho hoti paro ca loko.

    They’re practicing to win in both worlds, and they succeed in this world and the next.

26. 26

    So kāyassa bhedā paraṁ maraṇā sugatiṁ saggaṁ lokaṁ upapajjati.

    When their body breaks up, after death, they’re reborn in a good place, a heavenly realm.

    Katamassa cattāro kammakilesā pahīnā honti?

    What four corrupt deeds have they given up?

29. 29

    Pāṇātipāto kho, gahapatiputta, kammakileso, adinnādānaṁ kammakileso, kāmesumicchācāro kammakileso, musāvādo kammakileso.

    Killing living creatures, stealing, sexual misconduct, and lying: these are corrupt deeds.

30. 30

    इमस्सi·mas·sa चत्तारोcat·tā·ro कम्मकिलेसाkam·ma·ki·le·sā पहीनाpa·hī·nā होन्ती”ति।hon·tī

    Imassa cattāro kammakilesā pahīnā hontī”ti.

    These are the four corrupt deeds they’ve given up.”

31. 31

    इदमवोचi·da·ma·vo·ca भगवा।bha·ga·vā

    Idamavoca bhagavā.

    That is what the Buddha said.

32. 32

    इदंi·daṃ वत्वानvat·vā·na सुगतोsu·ga·to अथापरंa·thā·pa·raṃ एतदवोचe·ta·da·vo·ca सत्था:sat·thā

    Idaṁ vatvāna sugato athāparaṁ etadavoca satthā:

    Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:

33. 33

    “पाणातिपातोpā·ṇā·ti·pā·to अदिन्नादानं,a·din·nā·dā·naṃ

    “Pāṇātipāto adinnādānaṁ,

    “Killing, stealing,

34. 34

    मुसावादोmu·sā·vā·do चca वुच्चति;vuc·ca·ti

    Musāvādo ca vuccati;

    telling lies,

35. 35

    परदारगमनञ्चेव,pa·ra·dā·ra·ga·ma·nañ·ce·va

    Paradāragamanañceva,

    and committing adultery:

36. 36

    नप्पसंसन्तिnap·pa·saṃ·san·ti पण्डिता”ति।paṇ·ḍi·tā

    “Katamehi catūhi ṭhānehi pāpakammaṁ na karoti?

    “On what four grounds do they not do bad deeds?

    One does bad deeds prejudiced by favoritism, hostility, stupidity, and cowardice.

    When a noble disciple is not prejudiced by favoritism, hostility, stupidity, and cowardice,

41. 41

    इमेहिi·me·hi चतूहिca·tū·hi ठानेहिṭhā·ne·hi पापकम्मंpā·pa·kam·maṃ नna करोती”ति।ka·ro·tī

    they don’t do bad deeds on these four grounds.”

42. 42

    “Chandā dosā bhayā mohā,
