At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha in the Bamboo Grove, the squirrels’ feeding ground.

Now at that time Venerable Rāhula was staying at Ambalaṭṭhikā.
6

Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yena ambalaṭṭhikā yenāyasmā rāhulo tenupasaṅkami.

Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to Ambalaṭṭhika to see Venerable Rāhula.
7

9

Nisīdi bhagavā paññatte āsane.

The Buddha sat down on the seat spread out,

Nisajja pāde pakkhālesi.

and washed his feet.
11

Āyasmāpi kho rāhulo bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi.

Rāhula bowed to the Buddha and sat down to one side.
12

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā परित्तंpa·rit·taṃ उदकावसेसंu·da·kā·va·se·saṃ उदकाधानेu·da·kā·dhā·ne ठपेत्वाṭha·pet·vā आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ राहुलंrā·hu·laṃ आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

Atha kho bhagavā parittaṁ udakāvasesaṁ udakādhāne ṭhapetvā āyasmantaṁ rāhulaṁ āmantesi:

Then the Buddha, leaving a little water in the pot, addressed Rāhula,
13

“पस्ससिpas·sa·si नोno त्वं,tvaṃ राहुल,rā·hu·la इमंi·maṃ परित्तंpa·rit·taṃ उदकावसेसंu·da·kā·va·se·saṃ उदकाधानेu·da·kā·dhā·ne ठपितन्”ति?ṭha·pi·tan

“passasi no tvaṁ, rāhula, imaṁ parittaṁ udakāvasesaṁ udakādhāne ṭhapitan”ti?

“Rāhula, do you see this little bit of water left in the pot?”
14

“एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

“Evaṁ, bhante”.

“Yes, sir.”
15

“एवंe·vaṃ परित्तकंpa·rit·ta·kaṃ खो,kho राहुल,rā·hu·la तेसंte·saṃ सामञ्ञंsā·mañ·ñaṃ येसंye·saṃ नत्थिnat·thi सम्पजानमुसावादेsam·pa·jā·na·mu·sā·vā·de लज्जा”ति।laj·jā

“Evaṁ parittakaṁ kho, rāhula, tesaṁ sāmaññaṁ yesaṁ natthi sampajānamusāvāde lajjā”ti.

“That’s how little of the ascetic’s nature is left in those who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.”
16

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā परित्तंpa·rit·taṃ उदकावसेसंu·da·kā·va·se·saṃ छड्डेत्वाchaḍ·ḍet·vā आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ राहुलंrā·hu·laṃ आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

Atha kho bhagavā parittaṁ udakāvasesaṁ chaḍḍetvā āyasmantaṁ rāhulaṁ āmantesi:

Then the Buddha, discarding what little water was left in the pot, said to Rāhula,
17

“पस्ससिpas·sa·si नोno त्वं,tvaṃ राहुल,rā·hu·la परित्तंpa·rit·taṃ उदकावसेसंu·da·kā·va·se·saṃ छड्डितन्”ति?chaḍ·ḍi·tan

“passasi no tvaṁ, rāhula, parittaṁ udakāvasesaṁ chaḍḍitan”ti?

“Do you see this little bit of water that was discarded?”
18

“एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

“Evaṁ, bhante”.

“Yes, sir.”
19

“एवंe·vaṃ छड्डितंchaḍ·ḍi·taṃ खो,kho राहुल,rā·hu·la तेसंte·saṃ सामञ्ञंsā·mañ·ñaṃ येसंye·saṃ नत्थिnat·thi सम्पजानमुसावादेsam·pa·jā·na·mu·sā·vā·de लज्जा”ति।laj·jā

“Evaṁ chaḍḍitaṁ kho, rāhula, tesaṁ sāmaññaṁ yesaṁ natthi sampajānamusāvāde lajjā”ti.

“That’s how the ascetic’s nature is discarded in those who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.”
20

Atha kho bhagavā taṁ udakādhānaṁ nikkujjitvā āyasmantaṁ rāhulaṁ āmantesi:

Then the Buddha, turning the pot upside down, said to Rāhula,
21

“पस्ससिpas·sa·si नोno त्वं,tvaṃ राहुल,rā·hu·la इमंi·maṃ उदकाधानंu·da·kā·dhā·naṃ निक्कुज्जितन्”ति?nik·kuj·ji·tan

“passasi no tvaṁ, rāhula, imaṁ udakādhānaṁ nikkujjitan”ti?

“Do you see how this pot is turned upside down?”
22

“एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

“Evaṁ, bhante”.

“Yes, sir.”
23

“एवंe·vaṃ निक्कुज्जितंnik·kuj·ji·taṃ खो,kho राहुल,rā·hu·la तेसंte·saṃ सामञ्ञंsā·mañ·ñaṃ येसंye·saṃ नत्थिnat·thi सम्पजानमुसावादेsam·pa·jā·na·mu·sā·vā·de लज्जा”ति।laj·jā

“Evaṁ nikkujjitaṁ kho, rāhula, tesaṁ sāmaññaṁ yesaṁ natthi sampajānamusāvāde lajjā”ti.

“That’s how the ascetic’s nature is turned upside down in those who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.”
24

Atha kho bhagavā taṁ udakādhānaṁ ukkujjitvā āyasmantaṁ rāhulaṁ āmantesi:

Then the Buddha, turning the pot right side up, said to Rāhula,
25

“पस्ससिpas·sa·si नोno त्वं,tvaṃ राहुल,rā·hu·la इमंi·maṃ उदकाधानंu·da·kā·dhā·naṃ रित्तंrit·taṃ तुच्छन्”ति?tuc·chan

“Do you see how this pot is vacant and hollow?”
26

“एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

“Evaṁ, bhante”.

“Yes, sir.”
27

“एवंe·vaṃ रित्तंrit·taṃ तुच्छंtuc·chaṃ खो,kho राहुल,rā·hu·la तेसंte·saṃ सामञ्ञंsā·mañ·ñaṃ येसंye·saṃ नत्थिnat·thi सम्पजानमुसावादेsam·pa·jā·na·mu·sā·vā·de लज्जाति।laj·jā·ti

“Evaṁ rittaṁ tucchaṁ kho, rāhula, tesaṁ sāmaññaṁ yesaṁ natthi sampajānamusāvāde lajjāti.

“That’s how vacant and hollow the ascetic’s nature is in those who are not ashamed to tell a deliberate lie.

Suppose there was a royal bull elephant with tusks like draft-poles, able to draw a heavy load, pedigree and battle-hardened. In battle it uses its fore-feet and hind-feet, its fore-quarters and hind-quarters, its head, ears, tusks, and tail, but it still protects its trunk.
