ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.

At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

Tena kho pana samayena sambahulānaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantānaṁ upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ sannisinnānaṁ sannipatitānaṁ ayamantarākathā udapādi:

Now at that time, after the meal, on return from almsround, several mendicants sat together in the assembly hall and this discussion came up among them:
6

“कोko नुnu खो,kho आवुसो,ā·vu·so इमेसंi·me·saṃ द्विन्नंdvin·naṃ राजूनंrā·jū·naṃ महद्धनतरोma·had·dha·na·ta·ro वाvā महाभोगतरोma·hā·bho·ga·ta·ro वाvā महाकोसतरोma·hā·ko·sa·ta·ro वाvā महाविजिततरोma·hā·vi·ji·ta·ta·ro वाvā महावाहनतरोma·hā·vā·ha·na·ta·ro वाvā महब्बलतरोma·hab·ba·la·ta·ro वाvā महिद्धिकतरोma·hid·dhi·ka·ta·ro वाvā महानुभावतरोma·hā·nu·bhā·va·ta·ro वाvā राजाrā·jā वाvā मागधोmā·ga·dho सेनियोse·ni·yo बिम्बिसारो,bim·bi·sā·ro राजाrā·jā वाvā पसेनदिpa·se·na·di कोसलो”ति?ko·sa·lo

“ko nu kho, āvuso, imesaṁ dvinnaṁ rājūnaṁ mahaddhanataro vā mahābhogataro vā mahākosataro vā mahāvijitataro vā mahāvāhanataro vā mahabbalataro vā mahiddhikataro vā mahānubhāvataro vā rājā vā māgadho seniyo bimbisāro, rājā vā pasenadi kosalo”ti?

“Which of these two kings has greater wealth, riches, treasury, dominion, vehicles, forces, might, and power: King Seniya Bimbisāra of Magadha or King Pasenadi of Kosala?”
7

अयञ्चरहिa·yañ·ca·ra·hi तेसंte·saṃ भिक्खूनंbhik·khū·naṃ अन्तराकथाan·ta·rā·ka·thā होतिho·ti विप्पकता।vip·pa·ka·tā

Ayañcarahi tesaṁ bhikkhūnaṁ antarākathā hoti vippakatā.

At that point the conversation among those mendicants was left unfinished.
8

Atha kho bhagavā sāyanhasamayaṁ paṭisallānā vuṭṭhito yenupaṭṭhānasālā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā paññatte āsane nisīdi.

Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat, went to the assembly hall, sat down on the seat spread out,
9

निसज्जni·saj·ja खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

Nisajja kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:

and addressed the mendicants:
10

“कायkā·ya नुत्थ,nut·tha भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve एतरहिe·ta·ra·hi कथायka·thā·ya सन्निसिन्नाsan·ni·sin·nā सन्निपतिता,san·ni·pa·ti·tā काkā चca पनpa·na वोvo अन्तराकथाan·ta·rā·ka·thā विप्पकता”ति?vip·pa·ka·tā

“kāya nuttha, bhikkhave, etarahi kathāya sannisinnā sannipatitā, kā ca pana vo antarākathā vippakatā”ti?

“Mendicants, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was left unfinished?”
11

“इध,i·dha भन्ते,bhan·te अम्हाकंam·hā·kaṃ पच्छाभत्तंpac·chā·bhat·taṃ पिण्डपातपटिक्कन्तानंpiṇ·ḍa·pā·ta·pa·ṭik·kan·tā·naṃ उपट्ठानसालायंu·paṭ·ṭhā·na·sā·lā·yaṃ सन्निसिन्नानंsan·ni·sin·nā·naṃ सन्निपतितानंsan·ni·pa·ti·tā·naṃ अयमन्तराकथाa·ya·man·ta·rā·ka·thā उदपादि:u·da·pā·di

“Idha, bhante, amhākaṁ pacchābhattaṁ piṇḍapātapaṭikkantānaṁ upaṭṭhānasālāyaṁ sannisinnānaṁ sannipatitānaṁ ayamantarākathā udapādi:

So the mendicants told him what they had been talking about when the Buddha arrived. The Buddha said,
12

‘कोko नुnu खो,kho आवुसो,ā·vu·so इमेसंi·me·saṃ द्विन्नंdvin·naṃ राजूनंrā·jū·naṃ महद्धनतरोma·had·dha·na·ta·ro वाvā महाभोगतरोma·hā·bho·ga·ta·ro वाvā महाकोसतरोma·hā·ko·sa·ta·ro वाvā महाविजिततरोma·hā·vi·ji·ta·ta·ro वाvā महावाहनतरोma·hā·vā·ha·na·ta·ro वाvā महब्बलतरोma·hab·ba·la·ta·ro वाvā महिद्धिकतरोma·hid·dhi·ka·ta·ro वाvā महानुभावतरोma·hā·nu·bhā·va·ta·ro वाvā राजाrā·jā वाvā मागधोmā·ga·dho सेनियोse·ni·yo बिम्बिसारो,bim·bi·sā·ro राजाrā·jā वाvā पसेनदिpa·se·na·di कोसलो’ति?ko·sa·lo

“Na khvetaṁ, bhikkhave, tumhākaṁ patirūpaṁ kulaputtānaṁ saddhā agārasmā anagāriyaṁ pabbajitānaṁ yaṁ tumhe evarūpiṁ kathaṁ katheyyātha.

“Mendicants, it is not appropriate for you gentlemen who have gone forth out of faith from the lay life to homelessness to talk about such things.
15

Sannipatitānaṁ vo, bhikkhave, dvayaṁ karaṇīyaṁ—

When you’re sitting together you should do one of two things:
16

dhammī vā kathā ariyo vā tuṇhībhāvo”ti.

discuss the teachings or keep noble silence.”
17

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā एतमत्थंe·ta·mat·thaṃ विदित्वाvi·dit·vā तायंtā·yaṃ वेलायंve·lā·yaṃ इमंi·maṃ उदानंu·dā·naṃ उदानेसि:u·dā·ne·si

Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṁ viditvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:
18

“यञ्चyañ·ca कामसुखंkā·ma·su·khaṃ लोके,lo·ke

“Yañca kāmasukhaṁ loke,

“Neither the pleasures of the senses,
19

यञ्चिदंyañ·ci·daṃ दिवियंdi·vi·yaṃ सुखं;su·khaṃ

yañcidaṁ diviyaṁ sukhaṁ;

nor even divine happiness,
20

Taṇhakkhayasukhassete,

is worth even a sixteenth part
21

of the happiness of craving’s end.”
22

दुतियं।du·ti·yaṃ

Dutiyaṁ.
