Evaṁ me sutaṁ—
So I have heard.

At one time the Buddha was staying at Ñātika in the brick house.

Then while the Buddha was in private retreat he spoke this exposition of the teaching:

Tena kho pana samayena aññataro bhikkhu bhagavato upassuti ṭhito hoti.
Now at that time a certain monk was standing listening in on the Buddha.

Addasā kho bhagavā taṁ bhikkhuṁ upassuti ṭhitaṁ.
The Buddha saw him

Disvāna taṁ bhikkhuṁ etadavoca:
and said,

“assosi no tvaṁ, bhikkhu, imaṁ dhammapariyāyan”ti?
“Monk, did you hear that exposition of the teaching?”

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti.
“Yes, sir.”

“Uggaṇhāhi tvaṁ, bhikkhu, imaṁ dhammapariyāyaṁ;
“Learn that exposition of the teaching,

pariyāpuṇāhi tvaṁ, bhikkhu, imaṁ dhammapariyāyaṁ;
memorize it,

dhārehi tvaṁ, bhikkhu, imaṁ dhammapariyāyaṁ.
and remember it.

Atthasaṁhito ayaṁ, bhikkhu, dhammapariyāyo ādibrahmacariyako”ti.
That exposition of the teaching is beneficial and relates to the fundamentals of the spiritual life.”

Pañcamaṁ.
