Ekaṁ samayaṁ sambahulā therā bhikkhū macchikāsaṇḍe viharanti ambāṭakavane.

At one time several senior mendicants were staying near Macchikāsaṇḍa in the Wild Mango Grove.

Then Citta the householder went up to them, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to them,
6

“अधिवासेन्तुa·dhi·vā·sen·tu मे,me भन्ते,bhan·te थेराthe·rā स्वातनायsvā·ta·nā·ya भत्तन्”ति।bhat·tan

“adhivāsentu me, bhante, therā svātanāya bhattan”ti.

“Sirs, would the senior monks please accept tomorrow’s meal from me?”
7

Adhivāsesuṁ kho therā bhikkhū tuṇhībhāvena.

They consented with silence.
8

Atha kho citto gahapati therānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ adhivāsanaṁ viditvā uṭṭhāyāsanā there bhikkhū abhivādetvā padakkhiṇaṁ katvā pakkāmi.

Knowing that the senior mendicants had consented, Citta rose from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled them, keeping them on his right, before leaving.

Then when the night had passed, the senior mendicants robed up in the morning and, taking their bowls and robes, went to Citta’s home, and sat down on the seats spread out.
10

Then Citta went up to them, bowed, sat down to one side, and asked the senior venerable,
11

“‘धातुनानत्तं,dhā·tu·nā·nat·taṃ धातुनानत्तन्’ति,dhā·tu·nā·nat·tan भन्तेbhan·te थेर,the·ra वुच्चति।vuc·ca·ti

“‘dhātunānattaṁ, dhātunānattan’ti, bhante thera, vuccati.

“Honorable Senior, they speak of ‘the diversity of elements’.
12

In what way did the Buddha speak of the diversity of elements?”
13

Evaṁ vutte, āyasmā thero tuṇhī ahosi.

When he said this, the senior venerable kept silent.
14

15

And for a third time, Citta asked him,
19

“‘धातुनानत्तं,dhā·tu·nā·nat·taṃ धातुनानत्तन्’ति,dhā·tu·nā·nat·tan भन्तेbhan·te थेर,the·ra वुच्चति।vuc·ca·ti

“‘dhātunānattaṁ, dhātunānattan’ti, bhante thera, vuccati.

“Honorable Senior, they speak of ‘the diversity of elements’.
20

Tatiyampi kho āyasmā thero tuṇhī ahosi.

And a second time and a third time the senior venerable kept silent.
22

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā isidatto tasmiṁ bhikkhusaṅghe sabbanavako hoti.

Now at that time Venerable Isidatta was the most junior mendicant in that Saṅgha.
23

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā इसिदत्तोi·si·dat·to आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ थेरंthe·raṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho āyasmā isidatto āyasmantaṁ theraṁ etadavoca:

He said to the senior venerable,
24

“ब्याकरोमहं,byā·ka·ro·ma·haṃ भन्तेbhan·te थेर,the·ra चित्तस्सcit·tas·sa गहपतिनोga·ha·pa·ti·no एतंe·taṃ पञ्हन्”ति?pañ·han

“byākaromahaṁ, bhante thera, cittassa gahapatino etaṁ pañhan”ti?

“Honorable Senior, may I answer Citta’s question?”
25

“ब्याकरोहिbyā·ka·ro·hi त्वं,tvaṃ आवुसोā·vu·so इसिदत्त,i·si·dat·ta चित्तस्सcit·tas·sa गहपतिनोga·ha·pa·ti·no एतंe·taṃ पञ्हन्”ति।pañ·han

“Byākarohi tvaṁ, āvuso isidatta, cittassa gahapatino etaṁ pañhan”ti.

“Answer it, Reverend Isidatta.”
26

“एवञ्हिe·vañ·hi त्वं,tvaṃ गहपति,ga·ha·pa·ti पुच्छसि:puc·cha·si

“Evañhi tvaṁ, gahapati, pucchasi:

“Householder, is this your question:
27

‘dhātunānattaṁ, dhātunānattanti, bhante thera, vuccati.

‘They speak of “the diversity of elements”.
28

Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, dhātunānattaṁ, vuttaṁ bhagavatā’”ti?

In what way did the Buddha speak of the diversity of elements?’”
29

“एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”।bhan·te

“Evaṁ, bhante”.

“Yes, sir.”
30

“इदंi·daṃ खो,kho गहपति,ga·ha·pa·ti धातुनानत्तंdhā·tu·nā·nat·taṃ वुत्तंvut·taṃ भगवता—bha·ga·va·tā

“Idaṁ kho, gahapati, dhātunānattaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā—

“This is the diversity of elements spoken of by the Buddha.

Ettāvatā kho, gahapati, dhātunānattaṁ vuttaṁ bhagavatā”ti.

This is how the Buddha spoke of the diversity of elements.”
34

Atha kho citto gahapati āyasmato isidattassa bhāsitaṁ abhinanditvā anumoditvā there bhikkhū paṇītena khādanīyena bhojanīyena sahatthā santappesi sampavāresi.

Then Citta, having approved and agreed with what Isidatta said, served and satisfied the senior mendicants with his own hands with delicious fresh and cooked foods.
35

Atha kho therā bhikkhū bhuttāvino onītapattapāṇino uṭṭhāyāsanā pakkamiṁsu.

When the senior mendicants had eaten and washed their hands and bowls, they rose from their seats and left.
36

अथa·tha खोkho आयस्माā·yas·mā थेरोthe·ro आयस्मन्तंā·yas·man·taṃ इसिदत्तंi·si·dat·taṃ एतदवोच:e·ta·da·vo·ca

Atha kho āyasmā thero āyasmantaṁ isidattaṁ etadavoca:

Then the senior venerable said to Venerable Isidatta,
37

“साधुsā·dhu खोkho तं,taṃ आवुसोā·vu·so इसिदत्त,i·si·dat·ta एसोe·so पञ्होpañ·ho पटिभासि,pa·ṭi·bhā·si नेसोne·so पञ्होpañ·ho मंmaṃ पटिभासि।pa·ṭi·bhā·si

“sādhu kho taṁ, āvuso isidatta, eso pañho paṭibhāsi, neso pañho maṁ paṭibhāsi.

“Isidatta, it’s good that you felt inspired to answer that question, because I didn’t.
38

तेनहावुसोte·na·hā·vu·so इसिदत्त,i·si·dat·ta यदाya·dā अञ्ञथापिañ·ña·thā·pi एवरूपोe·va·rū·po पञ्होpañ·ho आगच्छेय्य,ā·gac·chey·ya तञ्ञेवेत्थtañ·ñe·vet·tha पटिभासेय्या”ति।pa·ṭi·bhā·sey·yā

Tenahāvuso isidatta, yadā aññathāpi evarūpo pañho āgaccheyya, taññevettha paṭibhāseyyā”ti.

So when a similar question comes up, you should also answer it as you feel inspired.”
