Now at that time, after the meal, on return from almsround, several mendicants sat together in the pavilion by the kareri tree and this discussion came up among them:

“Reverends, when a mendicant who eats only almsfood is wandering for alms, from time to time they get to see pleasing sights, hear pleasing sounds, smell pleasing odors, taste pleasing flavors, and encounter pleasing touches.

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

Then in the late afternoon, the Buddha came out of retreat and went to the pavilion by the kareri tree, where he sat down on the seat spread out

and addressed the mendicants:

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

“Mendicants, what were you sitting talking about just now? What conversation was left unfinished?”
15

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

“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.

Atha kho bhagavā etamatthaṁ viditvā tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:

Then, understanding this matter, on that occasion the Buddha expressed this heartfelt sentiment:
27

“पिण्डपातिकस्सpiṇ·ḍa·pā·ti·kas·sa भिक्खुनो,bhik·khu·no

“Piṇḍapātikassa bhikkhuno,

“A mendicant who relies on alms,
