Nakhasikhasutta

Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati.

Atha kho bhagavā parittaṁ nakhasikhāyaṁ paṁsuṁ āropetvā bhikkhū āmantesi:

“Taṁ kiṁ maññatha, bhikkhave,

katamaṁ nu kho bahutaraṁ, yo cāyaṁ mayā paritto nakhasikhāyaṁ paṁsu āropito yā cāyaṁ mahāpathavī”ti?

“Etadeva, bhante, bahutaraṁ yadidaṁ mahāpathavī.

Appamattakoyaṁ bhagavatā paritto nakhasikhāyaṁ paṁsu āropito.

Saṅkhampi na upeti upanidhimpi na upeti kalabhāgampi na upeti mahāpathaviṁ upanidhāya bhagavatā paritto nakhasikhāyaṁ paṁsu āropito”ti.

“Evameva kho, bhikkhave, appakā te sattā ye manussesu paccājāyanti;

atha kho eteyeva bahutarā sattā ye aññatra manussehi paccājāyanti.

Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ:

‘appamattā viharissāmā’ti.

Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban”ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
