“Mendicants, these four people are found in the world.

Katame cattāro?
What four?

Kodhagaru na saddhammagaru, makkhagaru na saddhammagaru, lābhagaru na saddhammagaru, sakkāragaru na saddhammagaru.
People who value anger, or denigration, or material things, or honor rather than the true teaching.

Ime kho, bhikkhave, cattāro puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ.
These are the four people found in the world.

Cattārome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ.
These four people are found in the world.

Kodhamakkhagarū bhikkhū,
Mendicants who value anger and denigration,

lābhasakkāragāravā;
possessions and honor,

Na te dhamme virūhanti,
don’t grow in the teaching

sammāsambuddhadesite.
that was taught by the perfected Buddha.

Ye ca saddhammagaruno,
But those who value the true teaching,

vihaṁsu viharanti ca;
who have lived it, and are living it now,

Te ve dhamme virūhanti,
these do grow in the teaching

sammāsambuddhadesite”ti.
that was taught by the perfected Buddha.”

Tatiyaṁ.
