1"Bhikkhus, if an assigner of meals [n.647] Bhattuddesika. The bhikkhu responsible for assigning meal offerings and invitations to the other bhikkhus. On his credentials and disqualifications, see AN5.272. possesses four qualities, he is deposited in hell as if brought there. What four? He takes a wrong course because of desire, because of hatred, because of delusion, or because of fear. If an assigner of meals possesses these four qualities, he is deposited in hell as if brought there.

2"Bhikkhus, if an assigner of meals possesses four qualities, he is deposited in heaven as if brought there. What four? He does not take a wrong course because of desire, because of hatred, because of delusion, or because of fear. If an assigner of meals possesses these four qualities, he is deposited in heaven as if brought there."

3Those people uncontrolled in sensual pleasures,
who are unrighteous, not revering the Dhamma,
gone astray through desire, hate, and fear [n.648] Be mentions all four motives: chandā dosā mohā ca bhayā gāmino. And in the next verse: na chandā na dosā na mohā na bhayā ca gāmino.
are called a stained assembly.
Such is said by the Ascetic who knows.

4Therefore those good persons who are praiseworthy,
firm in the Dhamma, who do nothing bad,
unswayed by desire, hate, and fear,
are called an elite assembly.
Such is said by the Ascetic who knows.

1"Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhattuddesako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi catūhi? Chandāgatiṁ gacchati, dosāgatiṁ gacchati, mohāgatiṁ gacchati, bhayāgatiṁ gacchati – imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato bhattuddesako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye.

2Catūhi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhattuddesako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ sagge. Katamehi catūhi? Na chandāgatiṁ gacchati, na dosāgatiṁ gacchati, na mohāgatiṁ gacchati, na bhayāgatiṁ gacchati – imehi kho, bhikkhave, catūhi dhammehi samannāgato bhattuddesako yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ saggeti.

3Ye keci kāmesu asaññatā janā,
Adhammikā honti adhammagāravā;
Chandā dosā mohā ca bhayā gāmino,
Parisākasaṭo ca panesa vuccati.

4Evañhi vuttaṁ samaṇena jānatā,
Tasmā hi te sappurisā pasaṁsiyā;
Dhamme ṭhitā ye na karonti pāpakaṁ,
Na chandā na dosā na mohā na bhayā ca gāmino;
Parisāya maṇḍo ca panesa vuccati,
Evañhi vuttaṁ samaṇena jānatā"ti.

Dasamaṁ.

5Caraṁ sīlaṁ padhānāni,
saṁvaraṁ paññatti pañcamaṁ;
Sokhummaṁ tayo agatī,
bhattuddesena te dasāti.
