Then several mendicants went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him,

So the Buddha addressed one of the monks,
9

“एहिe·hi त्वं,tvaṃ भिक्खु,bhik·khu ममma·ma वचनेनva·ca·ne·na पिलिन्दवच्छंpi·lin·da·vac·chaṃ भिक्खुंbhik·khuṃ आमन्तेहि:ā·man·te·hi

“ehi tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mama vacanena pilindavacchaṁ bhikkhuṁ āmantehi:

“Please, monk, in my name tell the mendicant Pilindavaccha that

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

“Yes, sir,” that monk replied. He went to Pilindavaccha and said to him,
12

“सत्थाsat·thā तं,taṃ आवुसोā·vu·so पिलिन्दवच्छ,pi·lin·da·vac·cha आमन्तेती”ति।ā·man·te·tī

“satthā taṁ, āvuso pilindavaccha, āmantetī”ti.

“Reverend Pilindavaccha, the Teacher summons you.”
13

“Yes, reverend,” Pilindavaccha replied. He went to the Buddha, bowed, and sat down to one side. The Buddha said to him:
14

“सच्चंsac·caṃ किरki·ra त्वं,tvaṃ वच्छ,vac·cha भिक्खूbhik·khū वसलवादेनva·sa·la·vā·de·na समुदाचरसी”ति?sa·mu·dā·ca·ra·sī

“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, vaccha, bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācarasī”ti?

“Is it really true, Vaccha, that you addressed the mendicants as ‘lowlifes’?”
15

“एवं,e·vaṃ भन्ते”ति।bhan·te

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti.

“Yes, sir,” he replied.
16

अथa·tha खोkho भगवाbha·ga·vā आयस्मतोā·yas·ma·to पिलिन्दवच्छस्सpi·lin·da·vac·chas·sa पुब्बेनिवासंpub·be·ni·vā·saṃ मनसिma·na·si करित्वाka·rit·vā भिक्खूbhik·khū आमन्तेसि:ā·man·te·si

Atha kho bhagavā āyasmato pilindavacchassa pubbenivāsaṁ manasi karitvā bhikkhū āmantesi:

Then, having applied his mind to Pilindavaccha’s past lives, the Buddha said to the mendicants,
17

“माmā खोkho तुम्हे,tum·he भिक्खवे,bhik·kha·ve वच्छस्सvac·chas·sa भिक्खुनोbhik·khu·no उज्झायित्थ।uj·jhā·yit·tha

“mā kho tumhe, bhikkhave, vacchassa bhikkhuno ujjhāyittha.

“Mendicants, don’t complain about the mendicant Vaccha.
18

Na, bhikkhave, vaccho dosantaro bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācarati.

He doesn’t address the mendicants as ‘lowlifes’ out of hate.
19

Vacchassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pañca jātisatāni abbokiṇṇāni brāhmaṇakule paccājātāni.

For five hundred lives without interruption he was reborn in a brahmin family.
20

So tassa vasalavādo dīgharattaṁ samudāciṇṇo.

For a long time, he has addressed people as ‘lowlife’.
21

तेनायंte·nā·yaṃ वच्छोvac·cho भिक्खूbhik·khū वसलवादेनva·sa·la·vā·de·na समुदाचरती”ति।sa·mu·dā·ca·ra·tī

Tenāyaṁ vaccho bhikkhū vasalavādena samudācaratī”ti.

That’s why he addresses the mendicants as ‘lowlifes’.”
22

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:
23

“यम्हिyam·hi नna मायाmā·yā वसतीva·sa·tī नna मानो,mā·no

“Yamhi na māyā vasatī na māno,

“In whom dwells no deceit or conceit,
24

with anger cast aside, quenched:

So brāhmaṇo so samaṇo sa bhikkhū”ti.

they are a brahmin, an ascetic, a mendicant.”
