Cālāsutta

Translator: Mahāsaṅgīti Tipiṭaka Buddhavasse 2500

Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Atha kho cālā bhikkhunī pubbaṇhasamayaṁ nivāsetvā …pe…

aññatarasmiṁ rukkhamūle divāvihāraṁ nisīdi.

Atha kho māro pāpimā yena cālā bhikkhunī tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā cālaṁ bhikkhuniṁ etadavoca:

“kiṁ nu tvaṁ, bhikkhuni, na rocesī”ti?

“Jātiṁ khvāhaṁ, āvuso, na rocemī”ti.

“Kiṁ nu jātiṁ na rocesi,

jāto kāmāni bhuñjati;

Ko nu taṁ idamādapayi,

jātiṁ mā roca bhikkhunī”ti.

“Jātassa maraṇaṁ hoti,

jāto dukkhāni phussati;

Bandhaṁ vadhaṁ pariklesaṁ,

tasmā jātiṁ na rocaye.

Buddho dhammamadesesi,

jātiyā samatikkamaṁ;

Sabbadukkhappahānāya,

so maṁ sacce nivesayi.

Ye ca rūpūpagā sattā,

ye ca arūpaṭṭhāyino;

Nirodhaṁ appajānantā,

āgantāro punabbhavan”ti.

Atha kho māro pāpimā “jānāti maṁ cālā bhikkhunī”ti dukkhī dummano tatthevantaradhāyīti.
