    the four kinds of mindfulness meditation, the four right efforts, the four bases of psychic power, the five faculties, the five powers, the seven awakening factors, and the noble eightfold path. You should train in these things in harmony, appreciating each other, without dispute.

     ‘Reverend, as we were training, the sides continued to bring up settled issues with each other. If the Ascetic knew about this, would he criticize it?’

108. 108

     Sammā byākaramāno, bhikkhave, bhikkhu evaṁ byākareyya:

     Answering rightly, the mendicant should say:

109. 109

     ‘यंyaṃ नो,no आवुसो,ā·vu·so अम्हाकंam·hā·kaṃ समग्गानंsa·mag·gā·naṃ सम्मोदमानानंsam·mo·da·mā·nā·naṃ अविवदमानानंa·vi·va·da·mā·nā·naṃ सिक्खतंsik·kha·taṃ अञ्ञमञ्ञस्सañ·ña·mañ·ñas·sa वचीसंहारोva·cī·saṃ·hā·ro उप्पन्नोup·pan·no दिट्ठिपळासोdiṭ·ṭhi·pa·ḷā·so चेतसोce·ta·so आघातोā·ghā·to अप्पच्चयोap·pac·ca·yo अनभिरद्धि,a·na·bhi·rad·dhi तंtaṃ जानमानोjā·na·mā·no समणोsa·ma·ṇo गरहेय्याति।ga·ra·hey·yā·ti

     ‘Yes, reverend, he would.’

     ‘But without giving that up, reverend, can one realize extinguishment?’

     ‘No, reverend, one cannot.’

     Then you should approach whichever mendicant they think is most amenable among those who side with the other party and say to them:

     Answering rightly, the mendicant should say:

     Tañce, bhikkhave, bhikkhuṁ pare evaṁ puccheyyuṁ:

     If others should ask that mendicant:

121. 121

     ‘आयस्मताā·yas·ma·tā नोno एतेe·te भिक्खूbhik·khū अकुसलाa·ku·sa·lā वुट्ठापेत्वाvuṭ·ṭhā·pet·vā कुसलेku·sa·le पतिट्ठापिता’ति?pa·tiṭ·ṭhā·pi·tā

     ‘āyasmatā no ete bhikkhū akusalā vuṭṭhāpetvā kusale patiṭṭhāpitā’ti?

     ‘Were you the venerable who drew those mendicants away from the unskillful and established them in the skillful?’

     Sammā byākaramāno, bhikkhave, bhikkhu evaṁ byākareyya:

     Answering rightly, the mendicant should say:

123. 123

     ‘इधाहं,i·dhā·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so येनye·na भगवाbha·ga·vā तेनुपसङ्कमिं,te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·miṃ तस्सtas·sa मेme भगवाbha·ga·vā धम्मंdham·maṃ देसेसि,de·se·si ताहंtā·haṃ धम्मंdham·maṃ सुत्वाsut·vā तेसंte·saṃ भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ अभासिं।a·bhā·siṃ

     ‘idhāhaṁ, āvuso, yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁ, tassa me bhagavā dhammaṁ desesi, tāhaṁ dhammaṁ sutvā tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ abhāsiṁ.

     ‘Well, reverends, I approached the Buddha. He taught me the Dhamma. After hearing that teaching I explained it to those mendicants.

124. 124

     तंtaṃ तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū धम्मंdham·maṃ सुत्वाsut·vā अकुसलाa·ku·sa·lā वुट्ठहिंसु,vuṭ·ṭha·hiṃ·su कुसलेku·sa·le पतिट्ठहिंसू’ति।pa·tiṭ·ṭha·hiṃ·sū

     Taṁ te bhikkhū dhammaṁ sutvā akusalā vuṭṭhahiṁsu, kusale patiṭṭhahiṁsū’ti.

     When those mendicants heard that teaching they were drawn away from the unskillful and established in the skillful.’

     Answering in this way, that mendicant doesn’t glorify themselves or put others down. They answer in line with the teaching, with no legitimate grounds for rebuttal and criticism.”

126. 126

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

     Idamavoca bhagavā.

     That is what the Buddha said.

127. 127

     Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandunti.

     Satisfied, the mendicants approved what the Buddha said.

     Kintisuttaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ tatiyaṁ.
