     ‘bhikkhu sināto antarena sinānenā’”ti.

     a mendicant who is bathed with the inner bathing.”

109. 109

     Tena kho pana samayena sundarikabhāradvājo brāhmaṇo bhagavato avidūre nisinno hoti.

     Now at that time the brahmin Bhāradvāja of Sundarikā was sitting not far from the Buddha.

110. 110

     अथa·tha खोkho सुन्दरिकभारद्वाजोsun·da·ri·ka·bhā·rad·vā·jo ब्राह्मणोbrāh·ma·ṇo भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

     Atha kho sundarikabhāradvājo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

     He said to the Buddha,

111. 111

     “गच्छतिgac·cha·ti पनpa·na भवंbha·vaṃ गोतमोgo·ta·mo बाहुकंbā·hu·kaṃ नदिंna·diṃ सिनायितुन्”ति?si·nā·yi·tun

     “gacchati pana bhavaṁ gotamo bāhukaṁ nadiṁ sināyitun”ti?

     “But does Worthy Gotama go to the Bāhukā River to bathe?”

112. 112

     “किं,kiṃ ब्राह्मण,brāh·ma·ṇa बाहुकायbā·hu·kā·ya नदिया?na·di·yā

     “Kiṁ, brāhmaṇa, bāhukāya nadiyā?

     “Brahmin, why go to the Bāhukā River?

113. 113

     किंkiṃ बाहुकाbā·hu·kā नदीna·dī करिस्सती”ति?ka·ris·sa·tī

     Kiṁ bāhukā nadī karissatī”ti?

     What can the Bāhukā River do?”

114. 114

     “लोक्खसम्मताlok·kha·sam·ma·tā हि,hi भोbho गोतम,go·ta·ma बाहुकाbā·hu·kā नदीna·dī बहुजनस्स,ba·hu·ja·nas·sa पुञ्ञसम्मताpuñ·ña·sam·ma·tā हि,hi भोbho गोतम,go·ta·ma बाहुकाbā·hu·kā नदीna·dī बहुजनस्स,ba·hu·ja·nas·sa बाहुकायbā·hu·kā·ya पनpa·na नदियाna·di·yā बहुजनोba·hu·ja·no पापकम्मंpā·pa·kam·maṃ कतंka·taṃ पवाहेती”ति।pa·vā·he·tī

     “Lokkhasammatā hi, bho gotama, bāhukā nadī bahujanassa, puññasammatā hi, bho gotama, bāhukā nadī bahujanassa, bāhukāya pana nadiyā bahujano pāpakammaṁ kataṁ pavāhetī”ti.

     “Many people deem that the Bāhukā River leads to a heavenly world and bestows merit. And many people rinse off their bad deeds in the Bāhukā River.”

115. 115

     अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā सुन्दरिकभारद्वाजंsun·da·ri·ka·bhā·rad·vā·jaṃ ब्राह्मणंbrāh·ma·ṇaṃ गाथाहिgā·thā·hi अज्झभासि:aj·jha·bhā·si

     Atha kho bhagavā sundarikabhāradvājaṁ brāhmaṇaṁ gāthāhi ajjhabhāsi:

     Then the Buddha addressed Bhāradvāja of Sundarikā in verse:

116. 116

     “बाहुकंbā·hu·kaṃ अधिकक्कञ्च,a·dhi·kak·kañ·ca

     “Bāhukaṁ adhikakkañca,

     “The Bāhukā and the Adhikakkā,

117. 117

     gayaṁ sundarikaṁ mapi;

     at Gayā and the Sundarikā too,

118. 118

     Sarasvatī and Payāga,

119. 119

     अथोa·tho बाहुमतिंbā·hu·ma·tiṃ नदिं;na·diṃ

     atho bāhumatiṁ nadiṁ;

     and the Bāhumatī River:

120. 120

     निच्चम्पिnic·cam·pi बालोbā·lo पक्खन्दो,pak·khan·do

     Niccampi bālo pakkhando,

     a fool can constantly plunge into them

121. 121

     कण्हकम्मोkaṇ·ha·kam·mo नna सुज्झति।suj·jha·ti

     kaṇhakammo na sujjhati.

     but it won’t purify their dark deeds.

122. 122

     किंkiṃ सुन्दरिकाsun·da·ri·kā करिस्सति,ka·ris·sa·ti

     Kiṁ sundarikā karissati,

     What can the Sundarikā do?

123. 123

     किंkiṃ पयागाpa·yā·gā किंkiṃ बाहुकाbā·hu·kā नदी;na·dī

     Kiṁ payāgā kiṁ bāhukā nadī;

     What the Payāga or the Bāhukā?

124. 124

     वेरिंve·riṃ कतकिब्बिसंka·ta·kib·bi·saṃ नरं,na·raṃ

     Veriṁ katakibbisaṁ naraṁ,

     They can’t cleanse a cruel person, a sinner

125. 125

126. 126

130. 130

     इधेवi·dhe·va सिनाहिsi·nā·hi ब्राह्मण,brāh·ma·ṇa

     Idheva sināhi brāhmaṇa,

     It’s here alone that you should bathe, brahmin,

132. 132

     सचेsa·ce मुसाmu·sā नna भणसि,bha·ṇa·si

     And if you speak no lies,

     and you’re faithful and not stingy:

     Evaṁ vutte, sundarikabhāradvājo brāhmaṇo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

     When he had spoken, the brahmin Bhāradvāja of Sundarikā said to the Buddha,

139. 139

     “अभिक्कन्तं,a·bhik·kan·taṃ भोbho गोतम,go·ta·ma अभिक्कन्तं,a·bhik·kan·taṃ भोbho गोतम।go·ta·ma

     “abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama, abhikkantaṁ, bho gotama.

     “Excellent, worthy Gotama! Excellent!

     As if he were righting the overturned, or revealing the hidden, or pointing out the path to the lost, or lighting a lamp in the dark so people with clear eyes can see what’s there, worthy Gotama has made the teaching clear in many ways.

141. 141

     I go for refuge to the worthy Gotama, to the teaching, and to the mendicant Saṅgha.

     May I receive the going forth, the ordination in the worthy Gotama’s presence?”

143. 143

     And the brahmin Bhāradvāja of Sundarikā received the going forth, the ordination in the Buddha’s presence.

     Not long after his ordination, Venerable Bhāradvāja, living alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute, soon realized the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.

145. 145

     “खीणाkhī·ṇā जाति,jā·ti वुसितंvu·si·taṃ ब्रह्मचरियं,brah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ कतंka·taṃ करणीयं,ka·ra·ṇī·yaṃ नापरंnā·pa·raṃ इत्थत्ताया”तिit·that·tā·yā अब्भञ्ञासि।ab·bhañ·ñā·si

     “Khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā”ti abbhaññāsi.

     He understood: “Rebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is nothing further for this place.”

146. 146

     And Venerable Bhāradvāja became one of the perfected.
