Now at that time Bāhiya of the Bark Cloth was residing by Suppāraka on the ocean shore, where he was honored, respected, revered, venerated, and esteemed. And he received robes, almsfood, lodgings, and medicines and supplies for the sick. ke → ko (bj); kho ke (pts-vp-pli1) | samāpannā → samāpanno (bj) Atha kho bāhiyassa dārucīriyassa rahogatassa paṭisallīnassa evaṁ cetaso parivitakko udapādi: Then as he was in private retreat this thought came to his mind, Atha kho bāhiyassa dārucīriyassa purāṇasālohitā devatā anukampikā atthakāmā bāhiyassa dārucīriyassa cetasā cetoparivitakkamaññāya yena bāhiyo dārucīriyo tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bāhiyaṁ dārucīriyaṁ etadavoca: Then a deity who was a former relative of Bāhiya, having compassion and wanting what’s best for him, approached him and said: “neva kho tvaṁ, bāhiya, arahā, nāpi arahattamaggaṁ vā samāpanno. “Bāhiya, you’re not a perfected one, nor on the path to perfection. “Atthi, bāhiya, uttaresu janapadesu sāvatthī nāma nagaraṁ. “In the northern lands there is a city called Sāvatthī. So hi, bāhiya, bhagavā arahā ceva arahattāya ca dhammaṁ desetī”ti. He is a perfected one and teaches the Dhamma for the sake of perfection.” Atha kho bāhiyo dārucīriyo tāya devatāya saṁvejito tāvadeva suppārakamhā pakkāmi. Impelled by that deity, Bāhiya left Suppāraka right away. Atha kho bāhiyo dārucīriyo yena te bhikkhū tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā te bhikkhū etadavoca: Bāhiya approached them and said, “Antaragharaṁ paviṭṭho kho, bāhiya, bhagavā piṇḍāyā”ti. “He has entered an inhabited area for almsfood, Bāhiya.” Atha kho bāhiyo dārucīriyo taramānarūpo jetavanā nikkhamitvā sāvatthiṁ pavisitvā addasa bhagavantaṁ sāvatthiyaṁ piṇḍāya carantaṁ pāsādikaṁ pasādanīyaṁ santindriyaṁ santamānasaṁ uttamadamathasamathamanuppattaṁ dantaṁ guttaṁ yatindriyaṁ nāgaṁ. Then Bāhiya rushed out of the Jeta Grove and entered Sāvatthī, where he saw the Buddha walking for alms. He was impressive and inspiring, with peaceful faculties and mind, attained to the highest self-control and serenity, like an elephant with tamed, guarded, and controlled faculties. Evaṁ vutte, bhagavā bāhiyaṁ dārucīriyaṁ etadavoca: The Buddha said this: “akālo kho tāva, bāhiya, antaragharaṁ paviṭṭhamhā piṇḍāyā”ti. “It’s not the time, Bāhiya, so long as I have entered an inhabited area for almsfood.” Dutiyampi kho bāhiyo dārucīriyo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: For a second time, Bāhiya said, Dutiyampi kho bhagavā bāhiyaṁ dārucīriyaṁ etadavoca: For a second time, the Buddha said, “akālo kho tāva, bāhiya, antaragharaṁ paviṭṭhamhā piṇḍāyā”ti. “It’s not the time, Bāhiya, so long as I have entered an inhabited area for almsfood.” Tatiyampi kho bāhiyo dārucīriyo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: For a third time, Bāhiya said, “Tasmātiha te, bāhiya, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ: “In that case, Bāhiya, you should train like this: Evañhi te, bāhiya, sikkhitabbaṁ. That’s how you should train. Yato kho te, bāhiya, diṭṭhe diṭṭhamattaṁ bhavissati, sute sutamattaṁ bhavissati, mute mutamattaṁ bhavissati, viññāte viññātamattaṁ bhavissati, When you have trained in this way, tato tvaṁ, bāhiya, na tena. you won’t be ‘by that’.

Atha kho bāhiyassa dārucīriyassa bhagavato imāya saṅkhittāya dhammadesanāya tāvadeva anupādāya āsavehi cittaṁ vimucci. Then, due to this brief Dhamma teaching of the Buddha, Bāhiya’s mind was right away freed from defilements by not grasping. Atha kho bhagavā bāhiyaṁ dārucīriyaṁ iminā saṅkhittena ovādena ovaditvā pakkāmi. And when the Buddha had given Bāhiya this brief advice he left. Atha kho acirapakkantassa bhagavato bāhiyaṁ dārucīriyaṁ gāvī taruṇavacchā adhipatitvā jīvitā voropesi.

After the meal, on his return from almsround, he departed the city together with several mendicants and saw that Bāhiya had passed away. kālaṅkataṁ → kālakataṁ (bj, sya-all, km) “gaṇhatha, bhikkhave, bāhiyassa dārucīriyassa sarīrakaṁ; mañcakaṁ āropetvā nīharitvā jhāpetha; thūpañcassa karotha. “Mendicants, pick up Bāhiya’s corpse. Having lifted it onto a cot and carried it, cremate it and build a monument. “Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paṭissutvā bāhiyassa dārucīriyassa sarīrakaṁ mañcakaṁ āropetvā nīharitvā jhāpetvā thūpañcassa katvā yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkamiṁsu; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ nisīdiṁsu. “Yes, sir,” replied those mendicants. They did as the Buddha asked, then returned to the Buddha “daḍḍhaṁ, bhante, bāhiyassa dārucīriyassa sarīraṁ, thūpo cassa kato. “Sir, Bāhiya’s corpse has been cremated and a monument built for him. “Paṇḍito, bhikkhave, bāhiyo dārucīriyo paccapādi dhammassānudhammaṁ; na ca maṁ dhammādhikaraṇaṁ vihesesi. “Mendicants, Bāhiya was astute. He practiced in line with the teachings, and did not trouble me about the teachings. Parinibbuto, bhikkhave, bāhiyo dārucīriyo”ti. Bāhiya of the Bark Cloth has become fully extinguished.” bāhiyenāti te dasāti. "

Then Bāhiya, living alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute, soon realized the supreme end of the spiritual path in this very life.

And Venerable Bāhiya became one of the perfected. "
