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

   तत्रtat·ra खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

   There the Buddha addressed the mendicants,

6. 6

   “भिक्खवो”ति।bhik·kha·vo

   “bhikkhavo”ti.

   “Mendicants!”

7. 7

   “भदन्ते”तिbha·dan·te तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū भगवतोbha·ga·va·to पच्चस्सोसुं।pac·cas·so·suṃ

   “Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.

   “Venerable sir,” they replied.

8. 8

   भगवाbha·ga·vā एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

   Bhagavā etadavoca:

   The Buddha said this:

9. 9

   “धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā मे,me भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भवथ,bha·va·tha माmā आमिसदायादा।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

   “Dhammadāyādā me, bhikkhave, bhavatha, mā āmisadāyādā.

   “Mendicants, be my heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh.

10. 10

    अत्थिat·thi मेme तुम्हेसुtum·he·su अनुकम्पा:a·nu·kam·pā

    Atthi me tumhesu anukampā:

    Out of sympathy for you, I think,

11. 11

    ‘किन्तिkin·ti मेme सावकाsā·va·kā धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā भवेय्युं,bha·vey·yuṃ नोno आमिसदायादा’ति।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    ‘kinti me sāvakā dhammadāyādā bhaveyyuṁ, no āmisadāyādā’ti.

    ‘How can my disciples become heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh?’

    Tumhe ca me, bhikkhave, āmisadāyādā bhaveyyātha no dhammadāyādā, tumhepi tena ādiyā bhaveyyātha:

    If you become heirs in things of the flesh, not in the teaching, that will make you liable to the accusation:

13. 13

    ‘आमिसदायादाā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā सत्थुसावकाsat·thu·sā·va·kā विहरन्ति,vi·ha·ran·ti नोno धम्मदायादा’ति;dham·ma·dā·yā·dā

    ‘āmisadāyādā satthusāvakā viharanti, no dhammadāyādā’ti;

    ‘The Teacher’s disciples live as heirs in things of the flesh, not in the teaching.’

14. 14

    अहम्पिa·ham·pi तेनte·na आदियोā·di·yo भवेय्यं:bha·vey·yaṃ

    ahampi tena ādiyo bhaveyyaṁ:

    And it will make me liable to the accusation:

15. 15

    ‘आमिसदायादाā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā सत्थुसावकाsat·thu·sā·va·kā विहरन्ति,vi·ha·ran·ti नोno धम्मदायादा’ति।dham·ma·dā·yā·dā

    ‘āmisadāyādā satthusāvakā viharanti, no dhammadāyādā’ti.

    ‘The Teacher’s disciples live as heirs in things of the flesh, not in the teaching.’

    Tumhe ca me, bhikkhave, dhammadāyādā bhaveyyātha, no āmisadāyādā, tumhepi tena na ādiyā bhaveyyātha:

    If you become heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh, that will make you not liable to the accusation:

17. 17

    ‘धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā सत्थुसावकाsat·thu·sā·va·kā विहरन्ति,vi·ha·ran·ti नोno आमिसदायादा’ति;ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    ‘The Teacher’s disciples live as heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh.’

18. 18

    अहम्पिa·ham·pi तेनte·na नna आदियोā·di·yo भवेय्यं:bha·vey·yaṃ

    ahampi tena na ādiyo bhaveyyaṁ:

    And it will make me not liable to the accusation:

19. 19

    ‘धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā सत्थुसावकाsat·thu·sā·va·kā विहरन्ति,vi·ha·ran·ti नोno आमिसदायादा’ति।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    ‘dhammadāyādā satthusāvakā viharanti, no āmisadāyādā’ti.

    ‘The Teacher’s disciples live as heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh.’

20. 20

    तस्मातिहtas·mā·ti·ha मे,me भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā भवथ,bha·va·tha माmā आमिसदायादा।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    Tasmātiha me, bhikkhave, dhammadāyādā bhavatha, mā āmisadāyādā.

    So, mendicants, be my heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh.

21. 21

    अत्थिat·thi मेme तुम्हेसुtum·he·su अनुकम्पा:a·nu·kam·pā

    Atthi me tumhesu anukampā:

    Out of sympathy for you, I think,

22. 22

    ‘किन्तिkin·ti मेme सावकाsā·va·kā धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā भवेय्युं,bha·vey·yuṃ नोno आमिसदायादा’ति।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    ‘kinti me sāvakā dhammadāyādā bhaveyyuṁ, no āmisadāyādā’ti.

    ‘How can my disciples become heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh?’

23. 23

    इधाहं,i·dhā·haṃ भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भुत्तावीbhut·tā·vī अस्संas·saṃ पवारितोpa·vā·ri·to परिपुण्णोpa·ri·puṇ·ṇo परियोसितोpa·ri·yo·si·to सुहितोsu·hi·to यावदत्थो;yā·va·dat·tho

    Idhāhaṁ, bhikkhave, bhuttāvī assaṁ pavārito paripuṇṇo pariyosito suhito yāvadattho;

    Suppose that I had eaten and refused more food, being replete, and having had as much as I needed.

24. 24

    सियाsi·yā चca मेme पिण्डपातोpiṇ·ḍa·pā·to अतिरेकधम्मोa·ti·re·ka·dham·mo छड्डनीयधम्मो।chaḍ·ḍa·nī·ya·dham·mo

    siyā ca me piṇḍapāto atirekadhammo chaḍḍanīyadhammo.

    And there was some extra almsfood that was going to be thrown away.

25. 25

    अथa·tha द्वेdve भिक्खूbhik·khū आगच्छेय्युंā·gac·chey·yuṃ जिघच्छादुब्बल्यपरेता।ji·ghac·chā·dub·bal·ya·pa·re·tā

    Atha dve bhikkhū āgaccheyyuṁ jighacchādubbalyaparetā.

    Then two mendicants were to come who were weak with hunger.

26. 26

    त्याहंtyā·haṃ एवंe·vaṃ वदेय्यं:va·dey·yaṃ

    Tyāhaṁ evaṁ vadeyyaṁ:

    I’d say to them,

27. 27

    ‘अहंa·haṃ खोम्हि,khom·hi भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भुत्तावीbhut·tā·vī पवारितोpa·vā·ri·to परिपुण्णोpa·ri·puṇ·ṇo परियोसितोpa·ri·yo·si·to सुहितोsu·hi·to यावदत्थो;yā·va·dat·tho

    ‘ahaṁ khomhi, bhikkhave, bhuttāvī pavārito paripuṇṇo pariyosito suhito yāvadattho;

    ‘Mendicants, I have eaten and refused more food, being replete, and having had as much as I need.

28. 28

    अत्थिat·thi चca मेme अयंa·yaṃ पिण्डपातोpiṇ·ḍa·pā·to अतिरेकधम्मोa·ti·re·ka·dham·mo छड्डनीयधम्मो।chaḍ·ḍa·nī·ya·dham·mo

    atthi ca me ayaṁ piṇḍapāto atirekadhammo chaḍḍanīyadhammo.

    And there is this extra almsfood that’s going to be thrown away.

29. 29

    सचेsa·ce आकङ्खथ,ā·kaṅ·kha·tha भुञ्जथ,bhuñ·ja·tha नोno चेce तुम्हेtum·he भुञ्जिस्सथ,bhuñ·jis·sa·tha इदानाहंi·dā·nā·haṃ अप्पहरितेap·pa·ha·ri·te वाvā छड्डेस्सामि,chaḍ·ḍes·sā·mi अप्पाणकेap·pā·ṇa·ke वाvā उदकेu·da·ke ओपिलापेस्सामी’ति।o·pi·lā·pes·sā·mī

    Sace ākaṅkhatha, bhuñjatha, no ce tumhe bhuñjissatha, idānāhaṁ appaharite vā chaḍḍessāmi, appāṇake vā udake opilāpessāmī’ti.

    Eat it if you like. Otherwise I’ll throw it out where there is little that grows, or drop it into water that has no living creatures.’

30. 30

    तत्रेकस्सtat·re·kas·sa भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no एवमस्स:e·va·mas·sa

    Tatrekassa bhikkhuno evamassa:

    Then one of those mendicants thought,

31. 31

    ‘भगवाbha·ga·vā खोkho भुत्तावीbhut·tā·vī पवारितोpa·vā·ri·to परिपुण्णोpa·ri·puṇ·ṇo परियोसितोpa·ri·yo·si·to सुहितोsu·hi·to यावदत्थो;yā·va·dat·tho

    ‘bhagavā kho bhuttāvī pavārito paripuṇṇo pariyosito suhito yāvadattho;

    ‘The Buddha has eaten and refused more food.

32. 32

    अत्थिat·thi चायंcā·yaṃ भगवतोbha·ga·va·to पिण्डपातोpiṇ·ḍa·pā·to अतिरेकधम्मोa·ti·re·ka·dham·mo छड्डनीयधम्मो।chaḍ·ḍa·nī·ya·dham·mo

    atthi cāyaṁ bhagavato piṇḍapāto atirekadhammo chaḍḍanīyadhammo.

    And he has some extra almsfood that’s going to be thrown away.

33. 33

    सचेsa·ce मयंma·yaṃ नna भुञ्जिस्साम,bhuñ·jis·sā·ma इदानिi·dā·ni भगवाbha·ga·vā अप्पहरितेap·pa·ha·ri·te वाvā छड्डेस्सति,chaḍ·ḍes·sa·ti अप्पाणकेap·pā·ṇa·ke वाvā उदकेu·da·ke ओपिलापेस्सति।o·pi·lā·pes·sa·ti

    Sace mayaṁ na bhuñjissāma, idāni bhagavā appaharite vā chaḍḍessati, appāṇake vā udake opilāpessati.

    If we don’t eat it he’ll throw it away.

34. 34

    वुत्तंvut·taṃ खोkho पनेतंpa·ne·taṃ भगवता:bha·ga·va·tā

    Vuttaṁ kho panetaṁ bhagavatā:

    But the Buddha has also said:

35. 35

    “धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā मे,me भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भवथ,bha·va·tha माmā आमिसदायादा”ति।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    “dhammadāyādā me, bhikkhave, bhavatha, mā āmisadāyādā”ti.

    “Be my heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh.”

36. 36

    आमिसञ्ञतरंā·mi·sañ·ña·ta·raṃ खोkho पनेतं,pa·ne·taṃ यदिदंya·di·daṃ पिण्डपातो।piṇ·ḍa·pā·to

    Āmisaññataraṁ kho panetaṁ, yadidaṁ piṇḍapāto.

    And almsfood is one of the things of the flesh.

37. 37

    यन्नूनाहंyan·nū·nā·haṃ इमंi·maṃ पिण्डपातंpiṇ·ḍa·pā·taṃ अभुञ्जित्वाa·bhuñ·jit·vā इमिनावi·mi·nā·va जिघच्छादुब्बल्येनji·ghac·chā·dub·bal·ye·na एवंe·vaṃ इमंi·maṃ रत्तिन्दिवंrat·tin·di·vaṃ वीतिनामेय्यन्’ति।vī·ti·nā·mey·yan

    Yannūnāhaṁ imaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ abhuñjitvā imināva jighacchādubbalyena evaṁ imaṁ rattindivaṁ vītināmeyyan’ti.

    Instead of eating this almsfood, why don’t I spend this day and night weak with hunger?’

38. 38

    सोso तंtaṃ पिण्डपातंpiṇ·ḍa·pā·taṃ अभुञ्जित्वाa·bhuñ·jit·vā तेनेवte·ne·va जिघच्छादुब्बल्येनji·ghac·chā·dub·bal·ye·na एवंe·vaṃ तंtaṃ रत्तिन्दिवंrat·tin·di·vaṃ वीतिनामेय्य।vī·ti·nā·mey·ya

    So taṁ piṇḍapātaṁ abhuñjitvā teneva jighacchādubbalyena evaṁ taṁ rattindivaṁ vītināmeyya.

    And that’s what they did.

39. 39

    अथa·tha दुतियस्सdu·ti·yas·sa भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no एवमस्स:e·va·mas·sa

    Atha dutiyassa bhikkhuno evamassa:

    Then the second of those mendicants thought,

40. 40

    ‘भगवाbha·ga·vā खोkho भुत्तावीbhut·tā·vī पवारितोpa·vā·ri·to परिपुण्णोpa·ri·puṇ·ṇo परियोसितोpa·ri·yo·si·to सुहितोsu·hi·to यावदत्थो;yā·va·dat·tho

    ‘bhagavā kho bhuttāvī pavārito paripuṇṇo pariyosito suhito yāvadattho;

    ‘The Buddha has eaten and refused more food.

41. 41

    अत्थिat·thi चायंcā·yaṃ भगवतोbha·ga·va·to पिण्डपातोpiṇ·ḍa·pā·to अतिरेकधम्मोa·ti·re·ka·dham·mo छड्डनीयधम्मो।chaḍ·ḍa·nī·ya·dham·mo

    atthi cāyaṁ bhagavato piṇḍapāto atirekadhammo chaḍḍanīyadhammo.

    And he has some extra almsfood that’s going to be thrown away.

42. 42

    सचेsa·ce मयंma·yaṃ नna भुञ्जिस्साम,bhuñ·jis·sā·ma इदानिi·dā·ni भगवाbha·ga·vā अप्पहरितेap·pa·ha·ri·te वाvā छड्डेस्सति,chaḍ·ḍes·sa·ti अप्पाणकेap·pā·ṇa·ke वाvā उदकेu·da·ke ओपिलापेस्सति।o·pi·lā·pes·sa·ti

    Sace mayaṁ na bhuñjissāma, idāni bhagavā appaharite vā chaḍḍessati, appāṇake vā udake opilāpessati.

    If we don’t eat it he’ll throw it away.

43. 43

    यन्नूनाहंyan·nū·nā·haṃ इमंi·maṃ पिण्डपातंpiṇ·ḍa·pā·taṃ भुञ्जित्वाbhuñ·jit·vā जिघच्छादुब्बल्यंji·ghac·chā·dub·bal·yaṃ पटिविनोदेत्वाpa·ṭi·vi·no·det·vā एवंe·vaṃ इमंi·maṃ रत्तिन्दिवंrat·tin·di·vaṃ वीतिनामेय्यन्’ति।vī·ti·nā·mey·yan

    Yannūnāhaṁ imaṁ piṇḍapātaṁ bhuñjitvā jighacchādubbalyaṁ paṭivinodetvā evaṁ imaṁ rattindivaṁ vītināmeyyan’ti.

    Why don’t I eat this almsfood, then spend the day and night having dispelled my hunger and weakness?’

44. 44

    सोso तंtaṃ पिण्डपातंpiṇ·ḍa·pā·taṃ भुञ्जित्वाbhuñ·jit·vā जिघच्छादुब्बल्यंji·ghac·chā·dub·bal·yaṃ पटिविनोदेत्वाpa·ṭi·vi·no·det·vā एवंe·vaṃ तंtaṃ रत्तिन्दिवंrat·tin·di·vaṃ वीतिनामेय्य।vī·ti·nā·mey·ya

    So taṁ piṇḍapātaṁ bhuñjitvā jighacchādubbalyaṁ paṭivinodetvā evaṁ taṁ rattindivaṁ vītināmeyya.

    And that’s what they did.

45. 45

    किञ्चापिkiñ·cā·pi सो,so भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुbhik·khu तंtaṃ पिण्डपातंpiṇ·ḍa·pā·taṃ भुञ्जित्वाbhuñ·jit·vā जिघच्छादुब्बल्यंji·ghac·chā·dub·bal·yaṃ पटिविनोदेत्वाpa·ṭi·vi·no·det·vā एवंe·vaṃ तंtaṃ रत्तिन्दिवंrat·tin·di·vaṃ वीतिनामेय्य,vī·ti·nā·mey·ya अथa·tha खोkho असुयेवa·su·ye·va मेme पुरिमोpu·ri·mo भिक्खुbhik·khu पुज्जतरोpuj·ja·ta·ro चca पासंसतरोpā·saṃ·sa·ta·ro च।ca

    Kiñcāpi so, bhikkhave, bhikkhu taṁ piṇḍapātaṁ bhuñjitvā jighacchādubbalyaṁ paṭivinodetvā evaṁ taṁ rattindivaṁ vītināmeyya, atha kho asuyeva me purimo bhikkhu pujjataro ca pāsaṁsataro ca.

    Even though that mendicant, after eating the almsfood, spent the day and night having dispelled hunger and weakness, it is the former mendicant who is more worthy of respect and praise.

46. 46

    तंtaṃ किस्सkis·sa हेतु?he·tu

    Taṁ kissa hetu?

    Why is that?

47. 47

    तञ्हिtañ·hi तस्स,tas·sa भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no दीघरत्तंdī·gha·rat·taṃ अप्पिच्छतायap·pic·cha·tā·ya सन्तुट्ठियाsan·tuṭ·ṭhi·yā सल्लेखायsal·le·khā·ya सुभरतायsu·bha·ra·tā·ya वीरियारम्भायvī·ri·yā·ram·bhā·ya संवत्तिस्सति।saṃ·vat·tis·sa·ti

    Tañhi tassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno dīgharattaṁ appicchatāya santuṭṭhiyā sallekhāya subharatāya vīriyārambhāya saṁvattissati.

    Because for a long time that will conduce to that mendicant being of few wishes, content, self-effacing, unburdensome, and energetic.

48. 48

    तस्मातिहtas·mā·ti·ha मे,me भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā भवथ,bha·va·tha माmā आमिसदायादा।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    Tasmātiha me, bhikkhave, dhammadāyādā bhavatha, mā āmisadāyādā.

    So, mendicants, be my heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh.

49. 49

    अत्थिat·thi मेme तुम्हेसुtum·he·su अनुकम्पा:a·nu·kam·pā

    Atthi me tumhesu anukampā:

    Out of sympathy for you, I think,

50. 50

    ‘किन्तिkin·ti मेme सावकाsā·va·kā धम्मदायादाdham·ma·dā·yā·dā भवेय्युं,bha·vey·yuṃ नोno आमिसदायादा’”ति।ā·mi·sa·dā·yā·dā

    ‘kinti me sāvakā dhammadāyādā bhaveyyuṁ, no āmisadāyādā’”ti.

    ‘How can my disciples become heirs in the teaching, not in things of the flesh?’”

51. 51

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

    Idamavoca bhagavā.

    That is what the Buddha said.

52. 52

    इदंi·daṃ वत्वानvat·vā·na सुगतोsu·ga·to उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā विहारंvi·hā·raṃ पाविसि।pā·vi·si

    Idaṁ vatvāna sugato uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ pāvisi.

    When he had spoken, the Holy One rose from his seat and entered his dwelling.

53. 53

    तत्रtat·ra खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā सारिपुत्तोsā·ri·put·to अचिरपक्कन्तस्सa·ci·ra·pak·kan·tas·sa भगवतोbha·ga·va·to भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

    Tatra kho āyasmā sāriputto acirapakkantassa bhagavato bhikkhū āmantesi:

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

54. 54

    “आवुसोā·vu·so भिक्खवे”ति।bhik·kha·ve

    “āvuso bhikkhave”ti.

    “Reverends, mendicants!”

    “Āvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato sāriputtassa paccassosuṁ.
