Now at that time a certain junior monk, after his meal, on his return from almsround, entered his dwelling, where he adhered to passivity and silence. And he didn’t help the mendicants out when it was time to sew robes.

Then several mendicants went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and told him what had happened.

Atha kho bhagavā aññataraṁ bhikkhuṁ āmantesi:

So the Buddha addressed one of the monks,
9

“एहिe·hi त्वं,tvaṃ भिक्खु,bhik·khu ममma·ma वचनेनva·ca·ne·na तंtaṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ आमन्तेहिā·man·te·hi ‘सत्थाsat·thā तं,taṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so आमन्तेती’”ति।ā·man·te·tī

“ehi tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mama vacanena taṁ bhikkhuṁ āmantehi ‘satthā taṁ, āvuso, āmantetī’”ti.

“Please, monk, in my name tell that monk that the Teacher summons him.”
10

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho so bhikkhu bhagavato paṭissutvā yena so bhikkhu tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca:

“Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to that monk and said to him,
11

“सत्थाsat·thā तं,taṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so आमन्तेती”ति।ā·man·te·tī

“satthā taṁ, āvuso, āmantetī”ti.

“Reverend, the Teacher summons you.”

“Evamāvuso”ti kho so bhikkhu tassa bhikkhuno paṭissutvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinnaṁ kho taṁ bhikkhuṁ bhagavā etadavoca:

“Yes, reverend,” that monk replied. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:
13

“सच्चंsac·caṃ किरki·ra त्वं,tvaṃ भिक्खु,bhik·khu पच्छाभत्तंpac·chā·bhat·taṃ पिण्डपातपटिक्कन्तोpiṇ·ḍa·pā·ta·pa·ṭik·kan·to विहारंvi·hā·raṃ पविसित्वाpa·vi·sit·vā अप्पोस्सुक्कोap·pos·suk·ko तुण्हीभूतोtuṇ·hī·bhū·to सङ्कसायसि,saṅ·ka·sā·ya·si नna भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ वेय्यावच्चंvey·yā·vac·caṃ करोसिka·ro·si चीवरकारसमये”ति?cī·va·ra·kā·ra·sa·ma·ye

“Is it really true, monk, that after your meal, on your return from almsround, you entered your dwelling, where you adhered to passivity and silence, and you didn’t help the mendicants out when it was time to sew robes?”
14

“अहम्पिa·ham·pi खो,kho भन्ते,bhan·te सकंsa·kaṃ किच्चंkic·caṃ करोमी”ति।ka·ro·mī

“Ahampi kho, bhante, sakaṁ kiccaṁ karomī”ti.

“Sir, I am doing my own work.”
15

Atha kho bhagavā tassa bhikkhuno cetasā cetoparivitakkamaññāya bhikkhū āmantesi:

Then the Buddha, knowing that monk’s train of thought, addressed the mendicants:
16

“माmā खोkho तुम्हे,tum·he भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve एतस्सe·tas·sa भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no उज्झायित्थ।uj·jhā·yit·tha

“mā kho tumhe, bhikkhave, etassa bhikkhuno ujjhāyittha.

“Mendicants, don’t complain about this monk.

This monk gets the four absorptions—blissful meditations in this life that belong to the higher mind—when he wants, without trouble or difficulty. He has realized the supreme culmination of the spiritual path in this very life, and lives having achieved with his own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.”
18

इदमवोचi·da·ma·vo·ca भगवा।bha·ga·vā

That is what the Buddha said.

Then the Holy One, the Teacher, went on to say:
20
