A Question About the First Absorption
4

एकंe·kaṃ समयंsa·ma·yaṃ आयस्माā·yas·mā महामोग्गल्लानोma·hā·mog·gal·lā·no सावत्थियंsā·vat·thi·yaṃ विहरतिvi·ha·ra·ti जेतवनेje·ta·va·ne अनाथपिण्डिकस्सa·nā·tha·piṇ·ḍi·kas·sa आरामे।ā·rā·me

Ekaṁ samayaṁ āyasmā mahāmoggallāno sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time Venerable Mahāmoggallāna was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.
5

तत्रtat·ra खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā महामोग्गल्लानोma·hā·mog·gal·lā·no भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

Tatra kho āyasmā mahāmoggallāno bhikkhū āmantesi:

There Venerable Mahāmoggallāna addressed the mendicants:
6

“आवुसोā·vu·so भिक्खवे”ति।bhik·kha·ve

“āvuso bhikkhave”ti.

“Reverends, mendicants!”
7

“आवुसो”तिā·vu·so खोkho तेte भिक्खूbhik·khū आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to महामोग्गल्लानस्सma·hā·mog·gal·lā·nas·sa पच्चस्सोसुं।pac·cas·so·suṃ

“Āvuso”ti kho te bhikkhū āyasmato mahāmoggallānassa paccassosuṁ.

“Reverend,” they replied.
8

आयस्माā·yas·mā महामोग्गल्लानोma·hā·mog·gal·lā·no एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Āyasmā mahāmoggallāno etadavoca:

Venerable Mahāmoggallāna said this:
9

“इधi·dha मय्हं,may·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so रहोगतस्सra·ho·ga·tas·sa पटिसल्लीनस्सpa·ṭi·sal·lī·nas·sa एवंe·vaṃ चेतसोce·ta·so परिवितक्कोpa·ri·vi·tak·ko उदपादि:u·da·pā·di

“Idha mayhaṁ, āvuso, rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi:

“Just now, reverends, as I was in private retreat this thought came to mind:
10

‘पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ झानं,jhā·naṃ पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ झानन्’तिjhā·nan वुच्चति।vuc·ca·ti

‘paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ, paṭhamaṁ jhānan’ti vuccati.

‘They speak of this thing called the “first absorption”.
11

कतमंka·ta·maṃ नुnu खोkho पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ झानन्ति?jhā·nan·ti

Katamaṁ nu kho paṭhamaṁ jhānanti?

What is the first absorption?’
12

तस्सtas·sa मय्हं,may·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so एतदहोसि:e·ta·da·ho·si

Tassa mayhaṁ, āvuso, etadahosi:

It occurred to me:
13

‘इधi·dha भिक्खुbhik·khu विविच्चेवvi·vic·ce·va कामेहिkā·me·hi विविच्चvi·vic·ca अकुसलेहिa·ku·sa·le·hi धम्मेहिdham·me·hi सवितक्कंsa·vi·tak·kaṃ सविचारंsa·vi·cā·raṃ विवेकजंvi·ve·ka·jaṃ पीतिसुखंpī·ti·su·khaṃ पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ झानंjhā·naṃ उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहरति।vi·ha·ra·ti

‘idha bhikkhu vivicceva kāmehi vivicca akusalehi dhammehi savitakkaṁ savicāraṁ vivekajaṁ pītisukhaṁ paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharati.

‘It’s when a mendicant, quite secluded from sensual pleasures, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first absorption, which has the rapture and bliss born of seclusion, while placing the mind and keeping it connected.
14

इदंi·daṃ वुच्चतिvuc·ca·ti पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ झानन्’ति।jhā·nan

Idaṁ vuccati paṭhamaṁ jhānan’ti.

This is called the first absorption.’
15

सोso ख्वाहं,khvā·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so विविच्चेवvi·vic·ce·va कामेहिkā·me·hi विविच्चvi·vic·ca अकुसलेहिa·ku·sa·le·hi धम्मेहिdham·me·hi सवितक्कंsa·vi·tak·kaṃ सविचारंsa·vi·cā·raṃ विवेकजंvi·ve·ka·jaṃ पीतिसुखंpī·ti·su·khaṃ पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ झानंjhā·naṃ उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहरामि।vi·ha·rā·mi

So khvāhaṁ, āvuso, vivicceva kāmehi vivicca akusalehi dhammehi savitakkaṁ savicāraṁ vivekajaṁ pītisukhaṁ paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharāmi.

And so … I was entering and remaining in the first absorption.
16

तस्सtas·sa मय्हं,may·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so इमिनाi·mi·nā विहारेनvi·hā·re·na विहरतोvi·ha·ra·to कामसहगताkā·ma·sa·ha·ga·tā सञ्ञामनसिकाराsañ·ñā·ma·na·si·kā·rā समुदाचरन्ति।sa·mu·dā·ca·ran·ti

Tassa mayhaṁ, āvuso, iminā vihārena viharato kāmasahagatā saññāmanasikārā samudācaranti.

While I was in that meditation, perception and focus accompanied by sensual pleasures beset me.
17

अथa·tha खोkho मं,maṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so भगवाbha·ga·vā इद्धियाid·dhi·yā उपसङ्कमित्वाu·pa·saṅ·ka·mit·vā एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho maṁ, āvuso, bhagavā iddhiyā upasaṅkamitvā etadavoca:

Then the Buddha came up to me with his psychic power and said,
18

‘मोग्गल्लान,mog·gal·lā·na मोग्गल्लान।mog·gal·lā·na

‘moggallāna, moggallāna.

‘Moggallāna, Moggallāna!
19

Mā, brāhmaṇa, paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ pamādo, paṭhame jhāne cittaṁ saṇṭhapehi, paṭhame jhāne cittaṁ ekodiṁ karohi, paṭhame jhāne cittaṁ samādahā’ti.

Don’t neglect the first absorption, brahmin! Settle your mind in the first absorption; unify your mind and immerse it in the first absorption.’
20

सोso ख्वाहं,khvā·haṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so अपरेनa·pa·re·na समयेनsa·ma·ye·na विविच्चेवvi·vic·ce·va कामेहिkā·me·hi विविच्चvi·vic·ca अकुसलेहिa·ku·sa·le·hi धम्मेहिdham·me·hi सवितक्कंsa·vi·tak·kaṃ सविचारंsa·vi·cā·raṃ विवेकजंvi·ve·ka·jaṃ पीतिसुखंpī·ti·su·khaṃ पठमंpa·ṭha·maṃ झानंjhā·naṃ उपसम्पज्जu·pa·sam·paj·ja विहासिं।vi·hā·siṃ

So khvāhaṁ, āvuso, aparena samayena vivicceva kāmehi vivicca akusalehi dhammehi savitakkaṁ savicāraṁ vivekajaṁ pītisukhaṁ paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja vihāsiṁ.

And so, after some time … I entered and remained in the first absorption.
21

यञ्हिyañ·hi तं,taṃ आवुसो,ā·vu·so सम्माsam·mā वदमानोva·da·mā·no वदेय्य:va·dey·ya

Yañhi taṁ, āvuso, sammā vadamāno vadeyya:

So if anyone should be rightly called
22

‘सत्थारानुग्गहितोsat·thā·rā·nug·ga·hi·to सावकोsā·va·ko महाभिञ्ञतंma·hā·bhiñ·ña·taṃ पत्तो’ति,pat·to ममंma·maṃ तंtaṃ सम्माsam·mā वदमानोva·da·mā·no वदेय्य:va·dey·ya

‘satthārānuggahito sāvako mahābhiññataṁ patto’ti, mamaṁ taṁ sammā vadamāno vadeyya:

a disciple who attained to great direct knowledge with help from the Teacher, it’s me.”
23

‘सत्थारानुग्गहितोsat·thā·rā·nug·ga·hi·to सावकोsā·va·ko महाभिञ्ञतंma·hā·bhiñ·ña·taṃ पत्तो’”ति।pat·to

‘satthārānuggahito sāvako mahābhiññataṁ patto’”ti.
