Evaṃ me sutaṃ— |
So I have heard. |
ekaṃ samayaṃ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṃ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme. |
At one time the Buddha was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta’s Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery. |
Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi: |
There the Buddha addressed the monks: |
“bhikkhavo”ti. |
“monks!” |
“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. |
“Venerable sir,” they replied. |
Bhagavā etadavoca: |
The Buddha said this: |
“sevitabbāsevitabbaṃ vo, bhikkhave, dhammapariyāyaṃ desessāmi. |
“monks, I will teach you an exposition of the Dharma-[teaching] on what should and should not be cultivated. |
Taṃ suṇātha, sādhukaṃ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti. |
Listen and pay close attention, I will speak.” |
“Evaṃ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṃ. |
“Yes, sir,” they replied. |
Bhagavā etadavoca: |
The Buddha said this: |
“Kāyasamācārampāhaṃ, bhikkhave, duvidhena vadāmi— |
“I say that there are two kinds of bodily behavior: |
sevitabbampi, asevitabbampi; |
that which you should cultivate, and that which you should not cultivate. |
tañca aññamaññaṃ kāyasamācāraṃ. |
And each of these is a kind of behavior. |

sevitabbampi, asevitabbampi; |
that which you should cultivate, and that which you should not cultivate. |
tañca aññamaññaṃ cittuppādaṃ. |
And each of these is a way of giving rise to a thought. |

And each of these is a way of reincarnating.” |
Evaṃ vutte āyasmā sāriputto bhagavantaṃ etadavoca: |
When he said this, Venerable Sāriputta said to the Buddha: |
“imassa kho ahaṃ, bhante, bhagavatā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa, vitthārena atthaṃ avibhattassa, evaṃ vitthārena atthaṃ ājānāmi. |
“Sir, this is how I understand the detailed meaning of the Buddha’s brief statement. |
‘Kāyasamācārampāhaṃ, bhikkhave, duvidhena vadāmi— |
‘I say that there are two kinds of bodily behavior: |
sevitabbampi, asevitabbampi; |

tañca aññamaññaṃ kāyasamācāran’ti— |
And each of these is a kind of bodily behavior.’ |
iti kho panetaṃ vuttaṃ bhagavatā. |
