(1) "‘I have entered upon a classless condition; (2) my living is dependent upon others; (3) my deportment should be different.’ When these three perceptions of an ascetic are developed and cultivated, they fulfill seven things.

2What seven?

(4) "One consistently acts and behaves in accord with virtuous behavior. (5) One is without longing, (6) without ill will, (7) and without arrogance. (8) One is desirous of training. (9) One uses the requisites for maintaining one's life with an awareness of their purpose. (10) One is energetic. When, bhikkhus, these three perceptions of an ascetic are developed and cultivated, they fulfill these seven things."

1"Tisso imā, bhikkhave, samaṇasaññā bhāvitā bahulīkatā satta dhamme paripūrenti. Katamā tisso?

Vevaṇṇiyamhi ajjhupagato, parapaṭibaddhā me jīvikā, añño me ākappo karaṇīyoti – imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso samaṇasaññā bhāvitā bahulīkatā satta dhamme paripūrenti.

2Katame satta?

Santatakārī hoti santatavutti sīlesu, anabhijjhālu hoti, abyāpajjo hoti, anatimānī hoti, sikkhākāmo hoti, "idamatthan"tissa hoti jīvitaparikkhāresu, āraddhavīriyo ca viharati. Imā kho, bhikkhave, tisso samaṇasaññā bhāvitā bahulīkatā ime satta dhamme paripūrentī"ti.

Paṭhamaṁ.
