ā€œNavahi, bhikkhave, aį¹…gehi samannāgataį¹ kulaį¹ anupagantvā vā nālaį¹ upagantuį¹, upagantvā vā nālaį¹ nisÄ«dituį¹. ā€œMendicants, visiting a family with nine factors is not worthwhile, or if youā€™ve already arrived, sitting down is not worthwhile.

Katamehi navahi? What nine?

They donā€™t politely rise, bow, or offer a seat. They hide what they have. Even when they have much they give little. Even when they have fine things they give coarse things. They give carelessly, not carefully. They donā€™t sit nearby to listen to the teachings. When youā€™re speaking, they donā€™t listen well.

Imehi kho, bhikkhave, navahaį¹…gehi samannāgataį¹ kulaį¹ anupagantvā vā nālaį¹ upagantuį¹ upagantvā vā nālaį¹ nisÄ«dituį¹. Visiting a family with these nine factors is not worthwhile, or if youā€™ve already arrived, sitting down is not worthwhile.
