   Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā tisso bhagavato pitucchāputto sambahulānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ evamāroceti:

   Now at that time Venerable Tissa—the Buddha’s cousin on his father’s side—informed several mendicants:

6. 6

   “अपिa·pi मे,me आवुसो,ā·vu·so मधुरकजातोma·dhu·ra·ka·jā·to वियvi·ya कायो;kā·yo दिसापिdi·sā·pi मेme नna पक्खायन्ति;pak·khā·yan·ti धम्मापिdham·mā·pi मंmaṃ नna पटिभन्ति;pa·ṭi·bhan·ti थिनमिद्धञ्चthi·na·mid·dhañ·ca मेme चित्तंcit·taṃ परियादायpa·ri·yā·dā·ya तिट्ठति;tiṭ·ṭha·ti अनभिरतोa·na·bhi·ra·to चca ब्रह्मचरियंbrah·ma·ca·ri·yaṃ चरामि;ca·rā·mi होतिho·ti चca मेme धम्मेसुdham·me·su विचिकिच्छा”ति।vi·ci·kic·chā

   “api me, āvuso, madhurakajāto viya kāyo; disāpi me na pakkhāyanti; dhammāpi maṁ na paṭibhanti; thinamiddhañca me cittaṁ pariyādāya tiṭṭhati; anabhirato ca brahmacariyaṁ carāmi; hoti ca me dhammesu vicikicchā”ti.

   “Reverends, my body feels like it’s drugged. I’m disorientated, the teachings don’t spring to mind, and dullness and drowsiness fill my mind. I lead the spiritual life dissatisfied, and have doubts about the teachings.”

7. 7

   अथa·tha खोkho सम्बहुलाsam·ba·hu·lā भिक्खूbhik·khū येनye·na भगवाbha·ga·vā तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु;te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·miṃ·su उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ अभिवादेत्वाa·bhi·vā·det·vā एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ निसीदिंसु।ni·sī·diṃ·su एकमन्तंe·ka·man·taṃ निसिन्नाni·sin·nā खोkho तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū भगवन्तंbha·ga·van·taṃ एतदवोचुं:e·ta·da·vo·cuṃ

   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,

11. 11

    “एहिe·hi त्वं,tvaṃ भिक्खु,bhik·khu ममma·ma वचनेनva·ca·ne·na तिस्संtis·saṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ आमन्तेही”ति।ā·man·te·hī

    “ehi tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mama vacanena tissaṁ bhikkhuṁ āmantehī”ti.

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

12. 12

    “Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho so bhikkhu bhagavato paṭissutvā yenāyasmā tisso tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ tissaṁ etadavoca:

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

13. 13

    “सत्थाsat·thā तं,taṃ आवुसोā·vu·so तिस्स,tis·sa आमन्तेती”ति।ā·man·te·tī

    “satthā taṁ, āvuso tissa, āmantetī”ti.

    “Reverend Tissa, the Teacher summons you.”

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

15. 15

    “सच्चंsac·caṃ किरki·ra त्वं,tvaṃ तिस्स,tis·sa सम्बहुलानंsam·ba·hu·lā·naṃ भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ एवमारोचेसि:e·va·mā·ro·ce·si

    “saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, tissa, sambahulānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ evamārocesi:

    “Is it really true, Tissa, that you informed several mendicants that
