21. Sīlasaṃkilesavodānaṃ[(vi) The Defiling and the Cleansing of Virtue]
Yaṃ pana vuttaṃ ‘‘ko cassa saṃkileso, kiṃ vodāna’’nti.However, it was also asked (vi) WHAT IS THE DEFILING OF IT? and WHAT IS THE CLEANSING OF IT?
Tatra vadāma – khaṇḍādibhāvo sīlassa saṃkileso, akhaṇḍādibhāvo vodānaṃ.We answer that virtue’s tornness, etc., is its defiling, and that its untornness, etc., is its cleansing.
So pana khaṇḍādibhāvo lābhayasādihetukena bhedena ca sattavidhamethunasaṃyogena ca saṅgahito.Now, that tornness, etc., are comprised under the breach that has gain, fame, etc., as its cause, and under the seven bonds of sexuality.
Tathā hi yassa sattasu āpattikkhandhesu ādimhi vā ante vā sikkhāpadaṃ bhinnaṃ hoti,When a man has broken the training course at the beginning or at the end in any instance of the seven classes of offences,[^40]
tassa sīlaṃ pariyante chinnasāṭako viya khaṇḍaṃ nāma hoti.his virtue is called torn, like a cloth that is cut at the edge.
Yassa pana vemajjhe bhinnaṃ, tassa majjhe chiddasāṭako viya chiddaṃ nāma hoti.But when he has broken it in the middle, it is called rent, like a cloth that is rent in the middle.
Yassa paṭipāṭiyā dve tīṇi bhinnāni,When he has broken it twice or thrice in succession,
tassa piṭṭhiyā vā kucchiyā vā uṭṭhitena visabhāgavaṇṇena kāḷarattādīnaṃ aññatarasarīravaṇṇā gāvī viya sabalaṃ nāma hoti.it is called blotched, like a cow whose body is some such colour as black or red with a discrepant colour appearing on the back or the belly.
Yassa antarantarā bhinnāni,When he has broken it [all over] at intervals,
tassa antarantarā visabhāgavaṇṇabinduvicitrā gāvī viya kammāsaṃ nāma hoti.it is called mottled, like a cow speckled [all over] with discrepant-coloured spots at intervals.
Evaṃ tāva lābhādihetukena bhedena khaṇḍādibhāvo hoti.This in the first place, is how there comes to be tornness with the breach that has gain, etc., as its cause.
Evaṃ sattavidhamethunasaṃyogavasena. Vuttañhi bhagavatā –And likewise with the seven bonds of sexuality; for this is said by the Blessed One:
‘‘Idha, brāhmaṇa, ekacco samaṇo vā brāhmaṇo vā sammā brahmacārī paṭijānamāno na heva kho mātugāmena saddhiṃ dvayaṃdvayasamāpattiṃ samāpajjati, apica kho mātugāmassa ucchādanaṃ parimaddanaṃ nhāpanaṃ sambāhanaṃ sādiyati, so tadassādeti, taṃ nikāmeti, tena ca vittiṃ āpajjati,“Here, brahman, some ascetic or brahman claims to lead the life of purity rightly; for he does not [52] enter into actual sexual intercourse with women. Yet he agrees to massage, manipulation, bathing and rubbing down by women. He enjoys it, desires it and takes satisfaction in it.
idampi kho, brāhmaṇa, brahmacariyassa khaṇḍampi chiddampi sabalampi kammāsampi.This is what is torn, rent, blotched and mottled in one who leads the life of purity.
Ayaṃ vuccati, brāhmaṇa, aparisuddhaṃ brahmacariyaṃ carati saṃyutto methunena saṃyogena, na parimuccati jātiyā.This man is said to lead a life of purity that is unclean. As one who is bound by the bond of sexuality, he will not be released from birth, ageing and death …
Jarāya maraṇena…pe… na parimuccati dukkhasmāti vadāmi.he will not be released from suffering, I say.
‘‘Puna caparaṃ, brāhmaṇa, idhekacco samaṇo vā…pe… paṭijānamāno na heva kho mātugāmena saddhiṃ dvayaṃ dvayasamāpattiṃ samāpajjati. Napi mātugāmassa ucchādanaṃ…pe… sādiyati. Apica kho mātugāmena saddhiṃ sañjagghati saṃkīḷati saṃkelāyati, so tadassādeti…pe… na parimuccati dukkhasmāti vadāmi.“Furthermore, brahman, … while he does not agree to [these things], yet he jokes, plays and amuses himself with women …
‘‘Puna caparaṃ, brāhmaṇa, idhekacco samaṇo vā…pe… na heva kho mātugāmena saddhiṃ dvayaṃ dvayasamāpattiṃ samāpajjati. Napi mātugāmassa ucchādanaṃ…pe… sādiyati. Napi mātugāmena saddhiṃ sañjagghati saṃkīḷati saṃkelāyati. Apica kho mātugāmassa cakkhunā cakkhuṃ upanijjhāyati pekkhati, so tadassādeti…pe… na parimuccati dukkhasmāti vadāmi.“Furthermore, brahman, … while he does not agree to [these things], yet he gazes and stares at women eye to eye …
‘‘Puna caparaṃ, brāhmaṇa, idhekacco samaṇo vā…pe… na heva kho mātugāmena… napi mātugāmassa… napi mātugāmena… napi mātugāmassa…pe… pekkhati. Apica kho mātugāmassa saddaṃ suṇāti tirokuṭṭā vā tiropākārā vā hasantiyā vā bhaṇantiyā vā gāyantiyā vā rodantiyā vā, so tadassādeti…pe… dukkhasmāti vadāmi.“Furthermore, brahman, … while he does not agree to [these things], yet he listens to the sound of women through a wall or through a fence as they laugh or talk or sing or weep …
‘‘Puna caparaṃ, brāhmaṇa, idhekacco samaṇo vā…pe… na heva kho mātugāmena… napi mātugāmassa… napi mātugāmena… napi mātugāmassa…pe… rodantiyā vā. Apica kho yānissa tāni pubbe mātugāmena saddhiṃ hasitalapitakīḷitāni, tāni anussarati, so tadassādeti…pe… dukkhasmāti vadāmi.“Furthermore, brahman, … while he does not agree to [these things], yet he recalls laughs and talks and games that he formerly had with women …
‘‘Puna caparaṃ, brāhmaṇa, idhekacco samaṇo vā…pe… na heva kho mātugāmena…pe… napi mātugāmassa…pe… napi yānissa tāni pubbe mātugāmena saddhiṃ hasitalapitakīḷitāni, tāni anussarati. Apica kho passati gahapatiṃ vā gahapatiputtaṃ vā pañcahi kāmaguṇehi samappitaṃ samaṅgībhūtaṃ paricārayamānaṃ, so tadassādeti…pe… dukkhasmāti vadāmi.“Furthermore, brahman, … while he does not agree to [these things], [53] yet he sees a householder or a householder’s son possessed of, endowed with, and indulging in, the five cords of sense desire …
‘‘Puna caparaṃ, brāhmaṇa, idhekacco samaṇo vā…pe… na heva kho mātugāmena…pe… napi passati gahapatiṃ vā gahapatiputtaṃ vā…pe… paricārayamānaṃ. Apica kho aññataraṃ devanikāyaṃ paṇidhāya brahmacariyaṃ carati ‘imināhaṃ sīlena vā vatena vā tapena vā brahmacariyena vā devo vā bhavissāmi devaññataro vā’ti.“Furthermore, brahman, … while he does not agree to [these things], yet he leads the life of purity aspiring to some order of deities, [thinking] ‘Through this rite (virtue) or this ritual (vow) or this asceticism I shall become a [great] deity or some [lesser] deity.’
So tadassādeti, taṃ nikāmeti, tena ca vittiṃ āpajjati.He enjoys it, desires it, and takes satisfaction in it.
Idampi kho, brāhmaṇa, brahmacariyassa khaṇḍampi chiddampi sabalampi kammāsampī’’ti (a. ni. 7.50).This, brahman, is what is torn, rent, blotched and mottled in one who leads the life of purity. This man … will not be released from suffering, I say” (A IV 54–56).
Evaṃ lābhādihetukena bhedena ca sattavidhamethunasaṃyogena ca khaṇḍādibhāvo saṅgahitoti veditabbo.This is how tornness, etc., should be understood as included under the breach that has gain, etc., as its cause and under the seven bonds of sexuality.
