khittena dhammaį¹ desetu, yamahaį¹ bhagavato dhammaį¹ sutvÄ eko vÅ«pakaį¹į¹ho appamatto ÄtÄpÄ« pahitatto vihareyyanāti. āSir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When Iāve heard it, Iāll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.ā
āTasmÄtiha tvaį¹, uttiya, Ädimeva visodhehi kusalesu dhammesu. āWell then, Uttiya, you should purify the starting point of skillful qualities.

SÄ«laƱca suvisuddhaį¹, diį¹į¹hi ca ujukÄ. Well purified ethics and correct view.

When your ethics are well purified and your view is correct, you should develop the four kinds of mindfulness meditation, depending on and grounded on ethics.
Katame cattÄro? What four?
Idha tvaį¹, uttiya, kÄye kÄyÄnupassÄ« viharÄhi ÄtÄpÄ« sampajÄno satimÄ, vineyya loke abhijjhÄdomanassaį¹; Meditate observing an aspect of the bodyākeen, aware, and mindful, rid of covetousness and displeasure for the world.

And then Venerable Uttiya approved and agreed with what the Buddha said. He got up from his seat, bowed, and respectfully circled the Buddha, keeping him on his right, before leaving.
Atha kho ÄyasmÄ uttiyo eko vÅ«pakaį¹į¹ho appamatto ÄtÄpÄ« pahitatto viharanto nacirassevaāyassatthÄya kulaputtÄ sammadeva agÄrasmÄ anagÄriyaį¹ pabbajanti, tadanuttaraį¹ābrahmacariyapariyosÄnaį¹ diį¹į¹heva dhamme sayaį¹ abhiĆ±Ć±Ä sacchikatvÄ upasampajja vihÄsi. Then Uttiya, living alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute, soon realized the supreme end of the spiritual path in this very life. He lived having achieved with his own insight the goal for which gentlemen rightly go forth from the lay life to homelessness.
āKhÄ«į¹Ä jÄti, vusitaį¹ brahmacariyaį¹, kataį¹ karaį¹Ä«yaį¹, nÄparaį¹ itthattÄyÄāti abbhaƱƱÄsi. He understood: āRebirth is ended; the spiritual journey has been completed; what had to be done has been done; there is nothing further for this place.ā
AƱƱataro ca panÄyasmÄ uttiyo arahataį¹ ahosÄ«ti. And Venerable Uttiya became one of the perfected.
