Tatiyapubbārāmasutta

At the Eastern Monastery (3rd)

Taṁyeva nidānaṁ.
The same setting.

“Katinaṁ nu kho, bhikkhave, indriyānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā khīṇāsavo bhikkhu aññaṁ byākaroti:
“Mendicants, how many faculties must a mendicant develop and cultivate so that they can declare enlightenment:

‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānāmī”ti?
‘I understand: “Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence”’?”

“Bhagavaṁmūlakā no, bhante, dhammā …pe…
“Our teachings are rooted in the Buddha. …”

“catunnaṁ kho, bhikkhave, indriyānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā khīṇāsavo bhikkhu aññaṁ byākaroti:
“A mendicant must develop and cultivate four faculties so that they can declare enlightenment.

‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānāmīti.

Katamesaṁ catunnaṁ?
What four?

Vīriyindriyassa, satindriyassa, samādhindriyassa, paññindriyassa—
The faculties of energy, mindfulness, immersion, and wisdom.

Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, catunnaṁ indriyānaṁ bhāvitattā bahulīkatattā khīṇāsavo bhikkhu aññaṁ byākaroti:
These are the four faculties that a mendicant must develop and cultivate so that they can declare enlightenment:

‘khīṇā jāti, vusitaṁ brahmacariyaṁ, kataṁ karaṇīyaṁ, nāparaṁ itthattāyā’ti pajānāmī”ti.
‘I understand: “Rebirth is ended, the spiritual journey has been completed, what had to be done has been done, there is no return to any state of existence”’.”

Sattamaṁ.
