   “Pubbeva me, bhikkhave, sambodhā anabhisambuddhassa bodhisattasseva sato etadahosi:

   “Mendicants, before my awakening—when I was still unawakened but intent on awakening—I thought:

5. 5

   ‘येमेye·me पञ्चpañ·ca कामगुणाkā·ma·gu·ṇā चेतसोce·ta·so सम्फुट्ठपुब्बाsam·phuṭ·ṭha·pub·bā अतीताa·tī·tā निरुद्धाni·rud·dhā विपरिणता,vi·pa·ri·ṇa·tā तत्रtat·ra मेme चित्तंcit·taṃ बहुलंba·hu·laṃ गच्छमानंgac·cha·mā·naṃ गच्छेय्यgac·chey·ya पच्चुप्पन्नेसुpac·cup·pan·ne·su वाvā अप्पंap·paṃ वाvā अनागतेसु’।a·nā·ga·te·su

   ‘My mind might often stray toward the five kinds of sensual stimulation that I formerly experienced—which have passed, ceased, and perished—or to those in the present, or in the future a little.’

6. 6

   तस्सtas·sa मय्हं,may·haṃ भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

   Tassa mayhaṁ, bhikkhave, etadahosi:

   Then it occurred to me:

7. 7

   ‘येमेye·me पञ्चpañ·ca कामगुणाkā·ma·gu·ṇā चेतसोce·ta·so सम्फुट्ठपुब्बाsam·phuṭ·ṭha·pub·bā अतीताa·tī·tā निरुद्धाni·rud·dhā विपरिणता,vi·pa·ri·ṇa·tā तत्रtat·ra मेme अत्तरूपेनat·ta·rū·pe·na अप्पमादोap·pa·mā·do सतिsa·ti चेतसोce·ta·so आरक्खोā·rak·kho करणीयो’।ka·ra·ṇī·yo

   ‘yeme pañca kāmaguṇā cetaso samphuṭṭhapubbā atītā niruddhā vipariṇatā, tatra me attarūpena appamādo sati cetaso ārakkho karaṇīyo’.

   ‘In my own way I should practice diligence, mindfulness, and protecting the mind regarding the five kinds of sensual stimulation that I formerly experienced—which have passed, ceased, and perished.’

8. 8

   So, mendicants, your minds might also often stray toward the five kinds of sensual stimulation that you formerly experienced—which have passed, ceased, and perished—or to those in the present, or in the future a little.

9. 9

   तस्मातिह,tas·mā·ti·ha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve तुम्हाकम्पिtum·hā·kam·pi येye तेte पञ्चpañ·ca कामगुणाkā·ma·gu·ṇā चेतसोce·ta·so सम्फुट्ठपुब्बाsam·phuṭ·ṭha·pub·bā अतीताa·tī·tā निरुद्धाni·rud·dhā विपरिणता,vi·pa·ri·ṇa·tā तत्रtat·ra वोvo अत्तरूपेहिat·ta·rū·pe·hi अप्पमादोap·pa·mā·do सतिsa·ti चेतसोce·ta·so आरक्खोā·rak·kho करणीयो।ka·ra·ṇī·yo

   So in your own way you should practice diligence, mindfulness, and protecting the mind regarding the five kinds of sensual stimulation that you formerly experienced—which have passed, ceased, and perished.

    Idaṁ vatvā bhagavā uṭṭhāyāsanā vihāraṁ pāvisi.

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

    Soon after the Buddha left, those mendicants considered,

15. 15

    “इदंi·daṃ खोkho नो,no आवुसो,ā·vu·so भगवाbha·ga·vā सङ्खित्तेनsaṅ·khit·te·na उद्देसंud·de·saṃ उद्दिसित्वाud·di·sit·vā वित्थारेनvit·thā·re·na अत्थंat·thaṃ अविभजित्वाa·vi·bha·jit·vā उट्ठायासनाuṭ·ṭhā·yā·sa·nā विहारंvi·hā·raṃ पविट्ठो:pa·viṭ·ṭho

    “The Buddha gave this brief summary, then entered his dwelling without explaining the meaning in detail. …

    Who can explain in detail the meaning of this brief summary given by the Buddha?”

20. 20

    अथa·tha खोkho तेसंte·saṃ भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

    Atha kho tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ etadahosi:

    Then those mendicants thought,

21. 21

    “अयंa·yaṃ खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do सत्थुsat·thu चेवce·va संवण्णितो,saṃ·vaṇ·ṇi·to सम्भावितोsam·bhā·vi·to चca विञ्ञूनंviñ·ñū·naṃ सब्रह्मचारीनं।sab·rah·ma·cā·rī·naṃ

    “ayaṁ kho āyasmā ānando satthu ceva saṁvaṇṇito, sambhāvito ca viññūnaṁ sabrahmacārīnaṁ.

    “This Venerable Ānanda is praised by the Buddha and esteemed by his sensible spiritual companions.

22. 22

    Pahoti cāyasmā ānando imassa bhagavatā saṅkhittena uddesassa uddiṭṭhassa vitthārena atthaṁ avibhattassa vitthārena atthaṁ vibhajituṁ.

    He is capable of explaining in detail the meaning of this brief summary given by the Buddha.

23. 23

    Let’s go to him, and ask him about this matter.”

24. 24

    अथa·tha खोkho तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū येनायस्माye·nā·yas·mā आनन्दोā·nan·do तेनुपसङ्कमिंसु;te·nu·pa·saṅ·ka·miṃ·su उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā आयस्मताā·yas·ma·tā आनन्देनā·nan·de·na सद्धिंsad·dhiṃ सम्मोदिंसु।sam·mo·diṃ·su

    Atha kho te bhikkhū yenāyasmā ānando tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmatā ānandena saddhiṁ sammodiṁsu.

    Then those mendicants went to Ānanda, and exchanged greetings with him.

25. 25

    When the greetings and polite conversation were over, they sat down to one side. They told him what had happened, and said,
