Upāli
“Saddhāya abhinikkhamma,
One newly gone forth,
navapabbajito navo;
who has left their home out of faith,
Mitte bhajeyya kalyāṇe,
should mix with spiritual friends,
suddhājīve atandite.
who are tireless and pure of livelihood.
Saddhāya abhinikkhamma,
One newly gone forth,
navapabbajito navo;
who has left their home out of faith,
Saṅghasmiṁ viharaṁ bhikkhu,
a mendicant staying in the Saṅgha,
sikkhetha vinayaṁ budho.
being wise, would train in monastic discipline.
Saddhāya abhinikkhamma,
One newly gone forth,
navapabbajito navo;
who has left their home out of faith,
Kappākappesu kusalo,
skilled in what is appropriate and what is not,
careyya apurakkhato”ti.
would wander undistracted.
