There Sāriputta addressed the mendicants:

“tathā tathāvuso, bhikkhu vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā anutappā hoti.
“As a mendicant makes their bed, so they must lie in it, and die tormented by regrets.

Kathañcāvuso, bhikkhu tathā tathā vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā anutappā hoti?
And how do they die tormented by regrets?

Idhāvuso, bhikkhu kammārāmo hoti kammarato kammārāmataṁ anuyutto, bhassārāmo hoti …
Take a mendicant who relishes work, talk, sleep, company, closeness, and proliferation. They love these things and like to relish them.

saṁsaggārāmo hoti …

papañcārāmo hoti papañcarato papañcārāmataṁ anuyutto.

Evaṁ kho, āvuso, bhikkhu tathā tathā vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā anutappā hoti.
A mendicant who makes their bed like this must lie in it, and die tormented by regrets.

As a mendicant makes their bed, so they must lie in it, and die free of regrets.

a mendicant who delights in extinguishment, who has given up substantial reality to rightly make an end of suffering.

Yo papañcamanuyutto,
A beast who likes to proliferate,

papañcābhirato mago;
enjoying proliferation,

Virādhayī so nibbānaṁ,
fails to win extinguishment,

yogakkhemaṁ anuttaraṁ.
the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.

Yo ca papañcaṁ hitvāna,
But one who gives up proliferation,

nippapañcapade rato;
enjoying the state of non-proliferation,

Ārādhayī so nibbānaṁ,
wins extinguishment,

yogakkhemaṁ anuttaran”ti.
the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.”

Pañcamaṁ.
