5: The Book of the Fives

210. With a Muddled Mind

1"Bhikkhus, there are these five dangers for one who falls asleep with a muddled mind, lacking clear comprehension. [n.1218] Muṭṭhassatissa asampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato. Also at Vin I 295,14–24. What five? He sleeps badly; he awakens miserably; he has bad dreams; the deities do not protect him; and semen is emitted. These are the five dangers for one who falls asleep with a muddled mind, lacking clear comprehension.

2"Bhikkhus, there are these five benefits for one who falls asleep mindfully and with clear comprehension. What five? He sleeps well; he awakens happily; he does not have bad dreams; deities protect him; and semen is not emitted. These are the five benefits for one who falls asleep mindfully and with clear comprehension."

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā muṭṭhassatissa asampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato. Katame pañca? Dukkhaṁ supati, dukkhaṁ paṭibujjhati, pāpakaṁ supinaṁ passati, devatā na rakkhanti, asuci muccati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā muṭṭhassatissa asampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato.

2Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā upaṭṭhitassatissa sampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato. Katame pañca? Sukhaṁ supati, sukhaṁ paṭibujjhati, na pāpakaṁ supinaṁ passati, devatā rakkhanti, asuci na muccati. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā upaṭṭhitassatissa sampajānassa niddaṁ okkamayato"ti.


Dasamaṁ.
Kimilavaggo paṭhamo.

3Kimilo dhammassavanaṁ,
ājānīyo balaṁ khilaṁ;
Vinibandhaṁ yāgu kaṭṭhaṁ,
gītaṁ muṭṭhassatinā cāti.
