Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdi. Ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:
Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha, bowed, sat down to one side, and said to him:

“‘Indriyasampanno, indriyasampanno’ti, bhante, vuccati.
“Sir, they speak of someone who is ‘accomplished regarding the faculties’.

Kittāvatā nu kho, bhante, indriyasampanno hotī”ti?
How is someone accomplished regarding the faculties defined?”

“Idha, bhikkhu, bhikkhu saddhindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, vīriyindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, satindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, samādhindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ, paññindriyaṁ bhāveti upasamagāmiṁ sambodhagāmiṁ.
“Mendicant, it’s when a mendicant develops the faculties of faith, energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom that lead to peace and awakening.

Ettāvatā kho, bhikkhu, bhikkhu indriyasampanno hotī”ti.
This is how someone who is accomplished regarding the faculties is defined.”
