Paṭhamavagga

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Nayidaṁ, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṁ vussati janakuhanatthaṁ, na janalapanatthaṁ, na lābhasakkārasilokānisaṁsatthaṁ, na ‘iti maṁ jano jānātū’ti.

Atha kho idaṁ, bhikkhave, brahmacariyaṁ vussati abhiññatthañceva pariññatthañcā”ti.

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca.

Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Abhiññatthaṁ pariññatthaṁ,

brahmacariyaṁ anītihaṁ;

Adesayi so bhagavā,

nibbānogadhagāminaṁ.

Esa maggo mahattehi,

anuyāto mahesibhi;

Ye ye taṁ paṭipajjanti,

yathā buddhena desitaṁ;

Dukkhassantaṁ karissanti,

satthusāsanakārino”ti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.

Navamaṁ.
