Assājānīyasutta The Thoroughbred

ā€œTayo ca, bhikkhave, bhadre assājānÄ«ye desessāmi tayo ca bhadre purisājānÄ«ye. ā€œMendicants, I will teach you the three fine thoroughbred horses, and the three fine thoroughbred people.

Taį¹ suį¹‡Ätha, sādhukaį¹ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmÄ«ā€ti. Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.ā€

ā€œEvaį¹, bhanteā€ti kho te bhikkhÅ« bhagavato paccassosuį¹. ā€œYes, sir,ā€ they replied.

Bhagavā etadavoca: The Buddha said this:

ā€œKatame ca, bhikkhave, tayo bhadrā assājānÄ«yā? ā€œWhat are the three fine thoroughbred horses?

Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco bhadro assājānÄ«yo ā€¦peā€¦ One fine thoroughbred horse ā€¦

javasampanno ca hoti vaį¹‡į¹‡asampanno ca ārohapariį¹‡Ähasampanno ca. is fast, beautiful, and well proportioned.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo bhadrā assājānīyā. These are the three fine thoroughbred horses.

Katame ca, bhikkhave, tayo bhadrā purisājānīyā? And what are the three fine thoroughbred people?

Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco bhadro purisājānÄ«yo ā€¦peā€¦ One fine thoroughbred person ā€¦

javasampanno ca hoti vaį¹‡į¹‡asampanno ca ārohapariį¹‡Ähasampanno ca. is fast, beautiful, and well proportioned.

KathaƱca, bhikkhave, bhadro purisājānÄ«yo ā€¦peā€¦ And how is a fine thoroughbred person ā€¦

javasampanno ca hoti vaį¹‡į¹‡asampanno ca ārohapariį¹‡Ähasampanno ca? fast, beautiful, and well proportioned?

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu āsavānaį¹ khayā anāsavaį¹ cetovimuttiį¹ paƱƱāvimuttiį¹ diį¹­į¹­heva dhamme sayaį¹ abhiƱƱā sacchikatvā upasampajja viharati. Itā€™s when a mendicant realizes the undefiled freedom of heart and freedom by wisdom in this very life. And they live having realized it with their own insight due to the ending of defilements.

Idamassa javasmiį¹ vadāmi. This is how theyā€™re fast, I say.

Abhidhamme kho pana abhivinaye paƱhaį¹ puį¹­į¹­ho vissajjeti, no saį¹sādeti. When asked a question about the teaching or training, they answer without faltering.

Idamassa vaį¹‡į¹‡asmiį¹ vadāmi. This is how theyā€™re beautiful, I say.

LābhÄ« kho pana hoti cÄ«varapiį¹‡įøapātasenāsanagilānappaccayabhesajjaparikkhārānaį¹. They receive robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick.

Idamassa ārohapariį¹‡Ähasmiį¹ vadāmi. This is how theyā€™re well proportioned, I say.

Evaį¹ kho, bhikkhave, bhadro purisājānÄ«yo javasampanno ca hoti vaį¹‡į¹‡asampanno ca ārohapariį¹‡Ähasampanno ca. This is how a fine thoroughbred person is fast, beautiful, and well proportioned.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo bhadrā purisājānÄ«yāā€ti. These are the three fine thoroughbred people.ā€

Dasamaį¹.
