Appaṭividitasutta

Not Comprehending Not Penetrated

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.
At Sāvatthī.
At Savatthi.

Ekamantaṁ ṭhitā kho sā devatā bhagavato santike imaṁ gāthaṁ abhāsi:
Standing to one side, that deity recited this verse in the Buddha’s presence:
Standing to one side, that devatā recited this verse in the presence of the Blessed One:

“Yesaṁ dhammā appaṭividitā,
“Those who don’t comprehend the teachings,
“Those who have not penetrated things,

Paravādesu nīyare;
who may be led astray by the doctrines of others;
Who may be led into others’ doctrines,

Suttā te nappabujjhanti,
asleep, they have not woken up:
Fast asleep, they have not yet awakened:

Kālo tesaṁ pabujjhitun”ti.
it is time for them to wake!”
It is time for them to awaken. ”

“Yesaṁ dhammā suppaṭividitā,
“Those who clearly comprehend the teachings,
“Those who have penetrated things well,

Paravādesu na nīyare;
who won’t be led astray by the doctrines of others;
Who cannot be led into others’ doctrines,

Te sambuddhā sammadaññā,
they’ve woken up, they rightly know,
Those awakened ones, having rightly known,

Caranti visame saman”ti.
they walk smoothly in the rough.”
Fare evenly amidst the uneven. ”
