Brāhmaṇadhammayāgavagga

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Ye keci, bhikkhave, bhikkhū kuhā thaddhā lapā siṅgī unnaḷā asamāhitā, na me te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū māmakā.

Apagatā ca te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū imasmā dhammavinayā; na ca te imasmiṁ dhammavinaye vuddhiṁ virūḷhiṁ vepullaṁ āpajjanti.

Ye ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhū nikkuhā nillapā dhīrā atthaddhā susamāhitā, te kho me, bhikkhave, bhikkhū māmakā.

Anapagatā ca te, bhikkhave, bhikkhū imasmā dhammavinayā; te ca imasmiṁ dhammavinaye vuddhiṁ virūḷhiṁ vepullaṁ āpajjantī”ti.

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.

Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Kuhā thaddhā lapā siṅgī,

unnaḷā asamāhitā;

Na te dhamme virūhanti,

sammāsambuddhadesite.

Nikkuhā nillapā dhīrā,

atthaddhā susamāhitā;

Te ve dhamme virūhanti,

sammāsambuddhadesite”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.

Navamaṁ.
