1"Bhikkhus, there are these five qualities that make for self-confidence in a trainee. [n.1108] Sekhavesārajjakaraṇā dhammā. What five? Here, a bhikkhu is endowed with faith and is virtuous, learned, energetic, and wise.

2(1) Whatever timidity [n.1109] Sārajjaṁ. Mp glosses with domanassaṁ, "dejection," but this does not seem sufficiently precise. Sārajja is the condition of one who feels timid, hesitant, and insecure (sārada) when having to appear in public or take a stand in community affairs. Its opposite, vesārajja, is the condition of one who feels at ease and self-confident (visārada) when interacting with others. there is in one without faith does not exist in one endowed with faith; therefore this quality makes for self-confidence in a trainee.

3(2) Whatever timidity there is in one who is immoral does not exist in one who is virtuous; therefore this quality makes for self-confidence in a trainee.

4(3) Whatever timidity there is in one who is unlearned does not exist in one who is learned; therefore this quality makes for self-confidence in a trainee.

5(4) Whatever timidity there is in one who is lazy does not exist in one who is energetic; therefore this quality makes for self-confidence in a trainee.

6(5) Whatever timidity there is in one who is unwise does not exist in one who is wise; therefore this quality makes for self-confidence in a trainee.

These are the five qualities that make for self-confidence in a trainee."
