The training rule on matchmaking

Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
At one time when the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery,

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā udāyī sāvatthiyaṁ kulūpako hoti. Bahukāni kulāni upasaṅkamati.
Venerable Udāyī was associating with and visiting a number of families in Sāvatthī.

Yattha passati kumārakaṁ vā apajāpatikaṁ, kumārikaṁ vā apatikaṁ, kumārakassa mātāpitūnaṁ santike kumārikāya vaṇṇaṁ bhaṇati—
When Udāyī saw a young man without a wife or a young woman without a husband, he would praise the young woman to the parents of a young man,

“amukassa kulassa kumārikā abhirūpā dassanīyā pāsādikā paṇḍitā byattā medhāvinī dakkhā analasā.
“The young woman of such-and such a family is beautiful, intelligent, skilled, and diligent.

Channā sā kumārikā imassa kumārakassā”ti.
She’s suitable for your son.”

Te evaṁ vadanti—
They would reply,

“ete kho, bhante, amhe na jānanti—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“They don’t know who we are, Venerable.

Sace, bhante, ayyo dāpeyya āneyyāma mayaṁ taṁ kumārikaṁ imassa kumārakassā”ti.
If you could persuade them to give the girl, we would take her for our son.”

Kumārikāya mātāpitūnaṁ santike kumārakassa vaṇṇaṁ bhaṇati—
And he praised the young man to the parents of a young woman,

“amukassa kulassa kumārako abhirūpo dassanīyo pāsādiko paṇḍito byatto medhāvī dakkho analaso.
“The young man of such-and-such a family is handsome, intelligent, skilled, and diligent.

Channāyaṁ kumārikā tassa kumārakassā”ti.
He’s suitable for your daughter.”

Te evaṁ vadanti—
They would reply,

“ete kho, bhante, amhe na jānanti—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti,
“They don’t know who we are, Venerable,

kismiṁ viya kumārikāya vattuṁ.
and we would be ashamed to speak to them for the sake of the girl.

Sace, bhante, ayyo yācāpeyya dajjeyyāma mayaṁ imaṁ kumārikaṁ tassa kumārakassā”ti.
But if you could persuade them to ask us, we would give our girl to the young man.”

Eteneva upāyena āvāhānipi kārāpeti, vivāhānipi kārāpeti, vāreyyānipi kārāpeti.
In this way he arranged for the taking of a bride, for the giving of a bride, and for marriage.

Tena kho pana samayena aññatarissā purāṇagaṇakiyā dhītā abhirūpā hoti dassanīyā pāsādikā.
At that time there was a former courtesan who had a beautiful daughter.

Tirogāmakā ājīvakasāvakā āgantvā taṁ gaṇakiṁ etadavocuṁ—
On one occasion some lay followers of the Ājīvaka religion came from another village and said to that courtesan,

“dehāyye, imaṁ kumārikaṁ amhākaṁ kumārakassā”ti.
“Madam, please give your girl to our boy.”

Sā evamāha—“ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“I don’t know who you are, Sirs,

Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī”ti.
and I won’t give my only daughter to be taken to another village.”

Manussā te ājīvakasāvake etadavocuṁ—
People asked those Ājīvaka lay followers

“kissa tumhe, ayyo, āgatatthā”ti?
why they had come.

“Idha mayaṁ, ayyo, amukaṁ nāma gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ yācimhā amhākaṁ kumārakassa.
They replied, “We came to ask that courtesan to give her daughter to our son,

Sā evamāha—‘ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
but she refused.”

Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī”ti.

“Kissa tumhe, ayyo, taṁ gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ yācittha?
“But why did you ask the courtesan?

Nanu ayyo udāyī vattabbo.
You should speak to Venerable Udāyī.

Ayyo udāyī dāpessatī”ti.
He’ll persuade her.”

Atha kho te ājīvakasāvakā yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavocuṁ—
They then went to Udāyī and said,

“idha mayaṁ, bhante, amukaṁ nāma gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ yācimhā amhākaṁ kumārakassa.
“Venerable, we’ve asked that courtesan here to give her daughter to our son,

Sā evamāha—‘ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—ke vā ime kassa vāti.
but she refused.

Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī’ti.

Sādhu, bhante, ayyo taṁ gaṇakiṁ dhītaraṁ dāpetu amhākaṁ kumārakassā”ti.
Would you please persuade her to give her daughter?”

Atha kho āyasmā udāyī yena sā gaṇakī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ gaṇakiṁ etadavoca—
Udāyī agreed. Soon afterwards he went to that courtesan and said,

“kissimesaṁ dhītaraṁ na desī”ti?
“Why didn’t you give them your daughter?”

“Ahaṁ khvayya, ime na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“I don’t know who they are, Sir,

Ayañca me ekadhītikā, tirogāmo ca gantabbo, nāhaṁ dassāmī”ti.
and I won’t give my only daughter to be taken to another village.”

“Dehimesaṁ.
“Please give her to them.

Ahaṁ ime jānāmī”ti.
I know them.”

“Sace, bhante, ayyo jānāti, dassāmī”ti.
“If you know them, I’ll give her away.”

Atha kho sā gaṇakī tesaṁ ājīvakasāvakānaṁ dhītaraṁ adāsi.
She then gave her daughter to those Ājīvaka followers,

Atha kho te ājīvakasāvakā taṁ kumārikaṁ netvā māsaṁyeva suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
and they took her away. For a month they treated her like a daughter-in-law,

Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.
but then like a slave.

Atha kho sā kumārikā mātuyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesi—
The girl sent a message to her mother, saying,

“ahañhi duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhāmi.
“Mom, I’m unhappy and miserable.

Māsaṁyeva maṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
For a month they treated me like a daughter-in-law,

Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.
but then like a slave.

Āgacchatu me, mātā, maṁ nessatū”ti.
Come, mom, and take me home.”

Atha kho sā gaṇakī yena te ājīvakasāvakā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te ājīvakasāvake etadavoca—
Soon afterwards the courtesan went to those Ājīvakas and said,

“māyyo, imaṁ kumārikaṁ dāsibhogena bhuñjittha.
“Please don’t treat my girl like a slave;

Suṇisabhogena imaṁ kumārikaṁ bhuñjathā”ti.
treat her properly!”

Te evamāhaṁsu—
They replied,

“natthamhākaṁ tayā saddhiṁ āhārūpahāro, samaṇena saddhiṁ amhākaṁ āhārūpahāro,
“We deal with the monastic, not with you.

gaccha tvaṁ,
Go away!

na mayaṁ taṁ jānāmā”ti.
We don’t want anything to do with you.”

Atha kho sā gaṇakī tehi ājīvakasāvakehi apasāditā punadeva sāvatthiṁ paccāgañchi.
Being dismissed, she returned to Sāvatthī.

Dutiyampi kho sā kumārikā mātuyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesi—
A second time the girl sent the same message to her mother.

“ahañhi duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhāmi.

Māsaṁyeva maṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.

Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.

Āgacchatu me, mātā, maṁ nessatū”ti.

Atha kho sā gaṇakī yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavoca—
That courtesan then went to Udāyī and said,

“sā kira, bhante, kumārikā duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhati.
“Venerable, my girl is unhappy and miserable.

Māsaṁyeva naṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.
They treated her like a daughter-in-law for a month,

Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.
but then like a slave.

Vadeyyātha, bhante—
Please tell them

‘māyyo, imaṁ kumārikaṁ dāsibhogena bhuñjittha.

Suṇisabhogena imaṁ kumārikaṁ bhuñjathā’”ti.
to treat her properly.”

Atha kho āyasmā udāyī yena te ājīvakasāvakā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te ājīvakasāvake etadavoca—
Udāyī went to the Ājīvakas and said,

“māyyo, imaṁ kumārikaṁ dāsibhogena bhujjittha.
“Please don’t treat this girl like a slave;

Suṇisabhogena imaṁ kumārikaṁ bhuñjathā”ti.
treat her properly.”

Te evamāhaṁsu—
They replied,

“natthamhākaṁ tayā saddhiṁ āhārūpahāro, gaṇakiyā saddhiṁ amhākaṁ āhārūpahāro.
“We deal with the courtesan, not with you.

Samaṇena bhavitabbaṁ abyāvaṭena.
A monastic shouldn’t get involved.

Samaṇo assa susamaṇo,
You should behave like a proper monastic.

gaccha tvaṁ,
So go away!

na mayaṁ taṁ jānāmā”ti.
We don’t want anything to do with you.”

Atha kho āyasmā udāyī tehi ājīvakasāvakehi apasādito punadeva sāvatthiṁ paccāgañchi.
Being dismissed, he returned to Sāvatthī.

Tatiyampi kho sā kumārikā mātuyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesi—
A third time that girl sent the same message to her mother,

“ahañhi duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhāmi.

Māsaṁyeva maṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.

Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.

Āgacchatu me, mātā, maṁ nessatū”ti.

Dutiyampi kho sā gaṇakī yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavoca—
and a second time the courtesan went to Udāyī and told him the same thing.

“sā kira, bhante, kumārikā duggatā dukkhitā, na sukhaṁ labhati.

Māsaṁyeva naṁ suṇisabhogena bhuñjiṁsu.

Tato aparena dāsibhogena bhuñjanti.

Vadeyyātha, bhante—

‘māyyo, imaṁ kumārikaṁ dāsibhogena bhuñjittha, suṇisabhogena imaṁ kumārikaṁ bhuñjathā’”ti.

“Paṭhamampāhaṁ tehi ājīvakasāvakehi apasādito,
He replied, “When I first went, they just dismissed me.

gaccha tvaṁ,
Go yourself;

nāhaṁ gamissāmī”ti.
I’m not going.”

Atha kho sā gaṇakī ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
Then that courtesan complained and criticized him,

“evaṁ duggato hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ dukkhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ mā sukhaṁ labhatu ayyo udāyī, yathā me kumārikā duggatā dukkhitā na sukhaṁ labhati pāpikāya sassuyā pāpakena sasurena pāpakena sāmikenā”ti.
“May Venerable Udāyī be miserable and unhappy, just as my girl is miserable and unhappy because of her nasty mother-in-law, father-in-law, and husband.”

Sāpi kho kumārikā ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
The girl, too, complained and criticized him in the same way,

“evaṁ duggato hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ dukkhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ mā sukhaṁ labhatu ayyo udāyī, yathāhaṁ duggatā dukkhitā na sukhaṁ labhāmi pāpikāya sassuyā pāpakena sasurena pāpakena sāmikenā”ti.

Aññāpi itthiyo asantuṭṭhā sassūhi vā sasurehi vā sāmikehi vā, tā evaṁ oyācanti—
as did other women who were unhappy with their mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, and husbands.

“evaṁ duggato hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ dukkhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ mā sukhaṁ labhatu ayyo udāyī, yathā mayaṁ duggatā dukkhitā na sukhaṁ labhāma pāpikāhi sassūhi pāpakehi sasurehi pāpakehi sāmikehī”ti.

Yā pana tā itthiyo santuṭṭhā sassūhi vā sasurehi vā sāmikehi vā tā evaṁ āyācanti—
But those women who were happy with their in-laws wished him well, saying,

“evaṁ sukhito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ sajjito hotu ayyo udāyī, evaṁ sukhamedho hotu ayyo udāyī, yathā mayaṁ sukhitā sajjitā sukhamedhā bhaddikāhi sassūhi bhaddakehi sasurehi bhaddakehi sāmikehī”ti.
“May Venerable Udāyī be happy and well, just as we are happy and well because of our good mothers-in-law, fathers-in-law, and husbands.”

Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū ekaccānaṁ itthīnaṁ oyācantīnaṁ ekaccānaṁ itthīnaṁ āyācantīnaṁ.
The monks heard that some women were criticizing him whereas others were wishing him well.

Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
And the monks of few desires complained and criticized him,

“kathañhi nāma āyasmā udāyī sañcarittaṁ samāpajjissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī act as a matchmaker?”

Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ.
They told the Buddha.

Atha kho bhagavā etasmiṁ nidāne etasmiṁ pakaraṇe bhikkhusaṅghaṁ sannipātāpetvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ paṭipucchi—
The Buddha had the Sangha gathered and questioned Udāyī:

“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, udāyi, sañcarittaṁ samāpajjasī”ti?
“Is it true, Udāyī, that you do this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked him …

kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, sañcarittaṁ samāpajjissasi.
“Foolish man, how could you do this?

Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …

evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

“Yo pana bhikkhu sañcarittaṁ samāpajjeyya, itthiyā vā purisamatiṁ purisassa vā itthimatiṁ, jāyattane vā jārattane vā, saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘If a monk acts as a matchmaker, conveying a man’s intention to a woman or a woman’s intention to a man, for marriage or for an affair, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

Evañcidaṁ bhagavatā bhikkhūnaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ paññattaṁ hoti.
In this way the Buddha laid down this training rule for the monks.

Tena kho pana samayena sambahulā dhuttā uyyāne paricārentā aññatarissā vesiyā santike dūtaṁ pāhesuṁ—
Soon afterwards a number of scoundrels who were enjoying themselves in a park sent a messenger to a sex worker, saying,

“āgacchatu uyyāne paricāressāmā”ti.
“Please come, let’s enjoy ourselves in the park.”

Sā evamāha—
She replied,

“ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
“Sirs, I don’t know who you are.

Ahañcamhi bahubhaṇḍā bahuparikkhārā, bahinagarañca gantabbaṁ.
I’m wealthy. I don’t want to go outside the city.”

Nāhaṁ gamissāmī”ti.

Atha kho so dūto tesaṁ dhuttānaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
The messenger returned the message.

Evaṁ vutte, aññataro puriso te dhutte etadavoca—
A certain man then said to those men,

“kissa tumhe, ayyo, etaṁ vesiṁ yācittha?
“Why did you ask the sex worker?

Nanu ayyo udāyī vattabbo.
You should speak to Venerable Udāyī.

Ayyo udāyī uyyojessatī”ti.
He’ll persuade her.”

Evaṁ vutte, aññataro upāsako taṁ purisaṁ etadavoca—
But a certain Buddhist lay follower said,

“māyyo, evaṁ avaca.
“No way.

Na kappati samaṇānaṁ sakyaputtiyānaṁ evarūpaṁ kātuṁ.
That’s not allowable for the Sakyan monastics.

Nāyyo udāyī evaṁ karissatī”ti.
He won’t do it.”

Evaṁ vutte, “karissati na karissatī”ti abbhutamakaṁsu.
And they made a bet on whether he would.

Atha kho te dhuttā yenāyasmā udāyī tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ etadavocuṁ—
Those scoundrels then went to Udāyī and said,

“idha mayaṁ, bhante, uyyāne paricārentā asukāya nāma vesiyā santike dūtaṁ pahiṇimhā—
“Venerable, while we were enjoying ourselves in the park, we sent a message to such-and-such a sex worker,

‘āgacchatu uyyāne paricāressāmā’ti.
asking her to come,

Sā evamāha—‘ahaṁ khvayyo, tumhe na jānāmi—ke vā ime kassa vāti,
but she refused.

ahañcamhi bahubhaṇḍā bahuparikkhārā, bahinagarañca gantabbaṁ.

Nāhaṁ gamissāmī’ti.

Sādhu, bhante, ayyo taṁ vesiṁ uyyojetū”ti.
Would you please persuade her?”

Atha kho āyasmā udāyī yena sā vesī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā taṁ vesiṁ etadavoca—
Udāyī agreed. He then went to that sex worker and said,

“kissimesaṁ na gacchasī”ti?
“Why don’t you go to those men?”

“Ahaṁ khvayya, ime na jānāmi—‘ke vā ime kassa vā’ti.
She told him why.

Ahañcamhi bahubhaṇḍā bahuparikkhārā, bahinagarañca gantabbaṁ.

Nāhaṁ gamissāmī”ti.

“Gacchimesaṁ. Ahaṁ ime jānāmī”ti.
“Please go. I know them.”

“Sace, bhante, ayyo jānāti ahaṁ gamissāmī”ti.
“If you know them, Sir, I’ll go.”

Atha kho te dhuttā taṁ vesiṁ ādāya uyyānaṁ agamaṁsu.
And those men took her to the park.

Atha kho so upāsako ujjhāyati khiyyati vipāceti—
Then that lay follower complained and criticized him,

“kathañhi nāma ayyo udāyī taṅkhaṇikaṁ sañcarittaṁ samāpajjissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī act as a matchmaker for a brief affair?”

Assosuṁ kho bhikkhū tassa upāsakassa ujjhāyantassa khiyyantassa vipācentassa.
The monks heard it,

Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
and the monks of few desires complained and criticized him,

“kathañhi nāma āyasmā udāyī taṅkhaṇikaṁ sañcarittaṁ samāpajjissatī”ti.
“How could Venerable Udāyī act as a matchmaker for a brief affair?”

Atha kho te bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ udāyiṁ anekapariyāyena vigarahitvā bhagavato etamatthaṁ ārocesuṁ …pe…
They rebuked Udāyī in many ways and then told the Buddha. Soon afterwards he had the Sangha gathered and questioned Udāyī:

“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, udāyi, taṅkhaṇikaṁ sañcarittaṁ samāpajjasī”ti?
“Is it true, Udāyī, that you did this?”

“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.
“It’s true, Sir.”

Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…
The Buddha rebuked him …

kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, moghapurisa, taṅkhaṇikaṁ sañcarittaṁ samāpajjissasi?
“Foolish man, how could you do this?

Netaṁ, moghapurisa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
This will affect people’s confidence …” …

evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—
“And so, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:

“Yo pana bhikkhu sañcarittaṁ samāpajjeyya, itthiyā vā purisamatiṁ purisassa vā itthimatiṁ, jāyattane vā jārattane vā, antamaso taṅkhaṇikāyapi, saṅghādiseso”ti.
‘If a monk acts as a matchmaker, conveying a man’s intention to a woman or a woman’s intention to a man, for marriage or for an affair, even if just a brief one, he commits an offense entailing suspension.’”

Yo panāti
A:

yo yādiso …pe…
whoever …

bhikkhūti
Monk:

…pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.
… The monk who has been given the full ordination by a unanimous Sangha through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of monk is meant in this case.

Sañcarittaṁ samāpajjeyyāti
Acts as a matchmaker, conveying:

itthiyā vā pahito purisassa santike gacchati, purisena vā pahito itthiyā santike gacchati.
sent by a woman he goes to a man, or sent by a man he goes to a woman.

Itthiyā vā purisamatinti
A man’s intention to a woman:

purisassa matiṁ itthiyā āroceti.
he informs a woman of a man’s intention.

Purisassa vā itthimatinti
A woman’s intention to a man:

itthiyā matiṁ purisassa āroceti.
he informs a man of a woman’s intention.

Jāyattane vāti
For marriage:

jāyā bhavissasi.
“You should be his wife.”

Jārattane vāti
For an affair:

jārī bhavissasi.
“You should be his mistress.”

Antamaso taṅkhaṇikāyapīti
Even if just a brief one:

muhuttikā bhavissasi.
“You will have a short relationship.”

Saṅghādisesoti
He commits an offense entailing suspension:

…pe… tenapi vuccati “saṅghādiseso”ti.
… Therefore, too, it is called “an offense entailing suspension”.

Dasa itthiyo— māturakkhitā piturakkhitā mātāpiturakkhitā bhāturakkhitā bhaginirakkhitā ñātirakkhitā gottarakkhitā dhammarakkhitā sārakkhā saparidaṇḍā.
