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

   if any mendicant criticized those nuns in his presence, Phagguna of the Top-Knot got angry and upset, and even instigated disciplinary proceedings.

   And if any mendicant criticized Phagguna of the Top-Knot in their presence, those nuns got angry and upset, and even instigated disciplinary proceedings.

   Evaṁ saṁsaṭṭho āyasmā moḷiyaphagguno bhikkhunīhi saddhiṁ viharati.

   That’s how close Phagguna of the Top-Knot was with those nuns.

    Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what was going on.

    Atha kho bhagavā aññataraṁ bhikkhuṁ āmantesi:

    So the Buddha addressed one of the monks,

17. 17

    “एहिe·hi त्वं,tvaṃ भिक्खु,bhik·khu ममma·ma वचनेनva·ca·ne·na मोळियफग्गुनंmo·ḷi·ya·phag·gu·naṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ आमन्तेहि:ā·man·te·hi

    “Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to Phagguna of the Top-Knot and said to him,

    “satthā taṁ, āvuso phagguna, āmantetī”ti.

    “Reverend Phagguna, the Teacher summons you.”

    “Yes, reverend,” Phagguna replied. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:

22. 22

    “Is it really true, Phagguna, that you’ve been spending too long mixing closely with some nuns?

    If that happens, you should train like this:

    So if anyone criticizes you in your presence, you should give up any desires or thoughts of domestic life.

    If that happens, you should train like this: ‘My mind will not degenerate. I will blurt out no bad words. I will remain full of sympathy, with a heart of love and no secret hate.’

41. 41

    Then the Buddha said to the mendicants:

    In this way you’ll achieve growth, improvement, and maturity in this teaching and training.

    Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, gāmassa vā nigamassa vā avidūre mahantaṁ sālavanaṁ.

    Suppose that not far from a town or village there was a large grove of sal trees

    Then along comes a person who wants to help protect and nurture that grove.

    So yā tā sālalaṭṭhiyo kuṭilā ojāpaharaṇiyo tā chetvā bahiddhā nīhareyya, antovanaṁ suvisodhitaṁ visodheyya.

    They’d cut down the crooked sal saplings that were robbing the sap, and throw them out. They’d clean up the interior of the grove,

    and properly care for the straight, well-formed sal saplings.

    In this way, in due course, that sal grove would grow, increase, and mature.

    Once upon a time, mendicants, right here in Sāvatthī there was a housewife named Vedehikā.

    Vedehikāya, bhikkhave, gahapatāniyā evaṁ kalyāṇo kittisaddo abbhuggato:

    She had this good reputation:

    ‘सोरताso·ra·tā वेदेहिकाve·de·hi·kā गहपतानी,ga·ha·pa·tā·nī निवाताni·vā·tā वेदेहिकाve·de·hi·kā गहपतानी,ga·ha·pa·tā·nī उपसन्ताu·pa·san·tā वेदेहिकाve·de·hi·kā गहपतानी’ति।ga·ha·pa·tā·nī

    ‘soratā vedehikā gahapatānī, nivātā vedehikā gahapatānī, upasantā vedehikā gahapatānī’ti.

    ‘The housewife Vedehikā is gentle, placid, and calm.’

71. 71

    Now, Vedehikā had a bonded maid named Kāḷī who was deft, tireless, and well-organized in her work.

    Then Kāḷī thought,

    But does she actually have anger in her and just not show it? Or does she have no anger?

    Or is it just because my work is well-organized that she doesn’t show anger, even though she still has it inside?

77. 77

    Vedehikā said to her,

    ‘हेhe जेje काळी’ति।kā·ḷī

    ‘he je kāḷī’ti.

    ‘Oi wench, Kāḷī!’

81. 81

    ‘What is it, ma’am?’

82. 82

    ‘किं,kiṃ जे,je दिवाdi·vā उट्ठासी’ति?uṭ·ṭhā·sī

    ‘Kiṁ, je, divā uṭṭhāsī’ti?

    ‘You’re getting up in the day—what’s up with you, wench?’

83. 83

    ‘नna ख्वय्ये,khvay·ye किञ्ची’ति।kiñ·cī

    ‘Na khvayye, kiñcī’ti.

    ‘Nothing, ma’am.’

84. 84

    ‘नोno वतva·ta रेre किञ्चि,kiñ·ci पापिpā·pi दासि,dā·si दिवाdi·vā उट्ठासी’तिuṭ·ṭhā·sī कुपिताku·pi·tā अनत्तमनाa·nat·ta·ma·nā भाकुटिंbhā·ku·ṭiṃ अकासि।a·kā·si

    ‘Oh, so nothing’s up, you naughty maid, but you get up in the day!’ Angry and upset, she scowled.

    Vedehikā said to her,

    ‘Oi wench, Kāḷī!’

    ‘Oh, so nothing’s up, you naughty maid, but you get up later in the day!’ Angry and upset, she blurted out angry words.

     ‘Oh, so nothing’s up, you naughty maid, but you get up even later in the day!’ Angry and upset, she grabbed a door-pin and hit Kāḷī on the head, cracking it open.

     Then Kāḷī, with blood pouring from her cracked skull, denounced her mistress to the neighbors,

108. 108

     ‘पस्सथय्ये,pas·sa·thay·ye सोरतायso·ra·tā·ya कम्मं;kam·maṃ

     How on earth can she grab a door-pin and hit her only maid on the head, cracking it open, just for getting up late?’

111. 111

     अथa·tha खो,kho भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve वेदेहिकायve·de·hi·kā·ya गहपतानियाga·ha·pa·tā·ni·yā अपरेनa·pa·re·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na एवंe·vaṃ पापकोpā·pa·ko कित्तिसद्दोkit·ti·sad·do अब्भुग्गच्छि:ab·bhug·gac·chi

     Atha kho, bhikkhave, vedehikāya gahapatāniyā aparena samayena evaṁ pāpako kittisaddo abbhuggacchi:

     Then after some time the housewife Vedehikā got this bad reputation:

112. 112

     ‘चण्डीcaṇ·ḍī वेदेहिकाve·de·hi·kā गहपतानी,ga·ha·pa·tā·nī अनिवाताa·ni·vā·tā वेदेहिकाve·de·hi·kā गहपतानी,ga·ha·pa·tā·nī अनुपसन्ताa·nu·pa·san·tā वेदेहिकाve·de·hi·kā गहपतानी’ति।ga·ha·pa·tā·nī

     ‘caṇḍī vedehikā gahapatānī, anivātā vedehikā gahapatānī, anupasantā vedehikā gahapatānī’ti.

     ‘The housewife Vedehikā is fierce, ill-tempered, and not calm at all.’

113. 113

     In the same way, a mendicant may be the gentlest of the gentle, the most placid of the placid, the calmest of the calm, so long as they don’t encounter any disagreeable criticism.

114. 114

     यतोya·to च,ca भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ अमनापाa·ma·nā·pā वचनपथाva·ca·na·pa·thā फुसन्ति,phu·san·ti अथa·tha भिक्खुbhik·khu ‘सोरतो’तिso·ra·to वेदितब्बो,ve·di·tab·bo ‘निवातो’तिni·vā·to वेदितब्बो,ve·di·tab·bo ‘उपसन्तो’तिu·pa·san·to वेदितब्बो।ve·di·tab·bo

     Yato ca, bhikkhave, bhikkhuṁ amanāpā vacanapathā phusanti, atha bhikkhu ‘sorato’ti veditabbo, ‘nivāto’ti veditabbo, ‘upasanto’ti veditabbo.

     But it’s when they encounter disagreeable criticism that you’ll know whether they’re really gentle, placid, and calm.

115. 115

     नाहंnā·haṃ तं,taṃ भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ ‘सुवचो’तिsu·va·co वदामिva·dā·mi योyo चीवरपिण्डपातसेनासनगिलानप्पच्चयभेसज्जपरिक्खारहेतुcī·va·ra·piṇ·ḍa·pā·ta·se·nā·sa·na·gi·lā·nap·pac·ca·ya·bhe·saj·ja·pa·rik·khā·ra·he·tu सुवचोsu·va·co होति,ho·ti सोवचस्सतंso·va·cas·sa·taṃ आपज्जति।ā·paj·ja·ti

     I don’t say that a mendicant is easy to admonish if they make themselves easy to admonish only for the sake of robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick.

116. 116

     तंtaṃ किस्सkis·sa हेतु?he·tu

     Taṁ kissa hetu?

     Why is that?

117. 117

     Because when they don’t get robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick, they’re no longer easy to admonish.

118. 118

     योyo चca खो,kho भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुbhik·khu धम्मंयेवdham·maṃ·ye·va सक्करोन्तो,sak·ka·ron·to धम्मंdham·maṃ गरुंga·ruṃ करोन्तो,ka·ron·to धम्मंdham·maṃ मानेन्तो,mā·nen·to धम्मंdham·maṃ पूजेन्तो,pū·jen·to धम्मंdham·maṃ अपचायमानोa·pa·cā·ya·mā·no सुवचोsu·va·co होति,ho·ti सोवचस्सतंso·va·cas·sa·taṃ आपज्जति,ā·paj·ja·ti तमहंta·ma·haṃ ‘सुवचो’तिsu·va·co वदामि।va·dā·mi

     But when a mendicant is easy to admonish purely because they honor, respect, revere, worship, and venerate the teaching, then I say that they’re easy to admonish.

119. 119

     तस्मातिह,tas·mā·ti·ha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve ‘धम्मंयेवdham·maṃ·ye·va सक्करोन्ता,sak·ka·ron·tā धम्मंdham·maṃ गरुंga·ruṃ करोन्ता,ka·ron·tā धम्मंdham·maṃ मानेन्ता,mā·nen·tā धम्मंdham·maṃ पूजेन्ता,pū·jen·tā धम्मंdham·maṃ अपचायमानाa·pa·cā·ya·mā·nā सुवचाsu·va·cā भविस्साम,bha·vis·sā·ma सोवचस्सतंso·va·cas·sa·taṃ आपज्जिस्सामा’ति।ā·paj·jis·sā·mā

     So, mendicants, you should train yourselves: ‘We will be easy to admonish purely because we honor, respect, revere, worship, and venerate the teaching.’

120. 120

     एवञ्हिe·vañ·hi वो,vo भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve सिक्खितब्बं।sik·khi·tab·baṃ

     If that happens, you should train like this:

     If that happens, you should train like this:

     Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabbaṁ.

     Imañca tumhe, bhikkhave, kakacūpamaṁ ovādaṁ abhikkhaṇaṁ manasi kareyyātha.

     If you frequently reflect on this advice on the simile of the saw,

221. 221

     पस्सथpas·sa·tha नोno तुम्हे,tum·he भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve तंtaṃ वचनपथं,va·ca·na·pa·thaṃ अणुंa·ṇuṃ वाvā थूलंthū·laṃ वा,vā यंyaṃ तुम्हेtum·he नाधिवासेय्याथा”ति?nā·dhi·vā·sey·yā·thā

     Passatha no tumhe, bhikkhave, taṁ vacanapathaṁ, aṇuṁ vā thūlaṁ vā, yaṁ tumhe nādhivāseyyāthā”ti?

     do you see any criticism, large or small, that you could not endure?”

222. 222

     “नोno हेतं,he·taṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

     “No hetaṁ, bhante”.

     “No, sir.”

223. 223

     “तस्मातिह,tas·mā·ti·ha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve इमंi·maṃ ककचूपमंka·ka·cū·pa·maṃ ओवादंo·vā·daṃ अभिक्खणंa·bhik·kha·ṇaṃ मनसिकरोथ।ma·na·si·ka·ro·tha

     “Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, imaṁ kakacūpamaṁ ovādaṁ abhikkhaṇaṁ manasikarotha.

     “So, mendicants, you should frequently reflect on this advice on the simile of the saw.

224. 224

     तंtaṃ वोvo भविस्सतिbha·vis·sa·ti दीघरत्तंdī·gha·rat·taṃ हितायhi·tā·ya सुखाया”ति।su·khā·yā

     Taṁ vo bhavissati dīgharattaṁ hitāya sukhāyā”ti.

     This will be for your lasting welfare and happiness.”

225. 225

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

     Idamavoca bhagavā.

     That is what the Buddha said.

226. 226

     अत्तमनाat·ta·ma·nā तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū भगवतोbha·ga·va·to भासितंbhā·si·taṃ अभिनन्दुन्ति।a·bhi·nan·dun·ti

     Attamanā te bhikkhū bhagavato bhāsitaṁ abhinandunti.

     Satisfied, the mendicants approved what the Buddha said.

227. 227

     ककचूपमसुत्तंka·ka·cū·pa·ma·sut·taṃ निट्ठितंniṭ·ṭhi·taṃ पठमं।pa·ṭha·maṃ
