A Thoroughbred
“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, अङ्गेहि समन्नागतो रञ्ञो भद्रो अस्साजानीयो राजारहो होति राजभोग्गो, रञ्ञो अङ्गन्त्वेव सङ्खं गच्छति।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, aṅgehi samannāgato rañño bhadro1 assājānīyo rājāraho hoti rājabhoggo, rañño aṅgantveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati.
“Bhikkhus, a fine royal thoroughbred with five factors is worthy of a king, fit to serve a king, and is considered a factor of kingship.
कतमेहि पञ्चहि? अज्जवेन, जवेन, मद्दवेन, खन्तिया, सोरच्चेन—इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि अङ्गेहि समन्नागतो रञ्ञो भद्रो अस्साजानीयो राजारहो होति राजभोग्गो, रञ्ञो अङ्गन्त्वेव सङ्खं गच्छति। एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो भिक्खु आहुनेय्यो होति पाहुनेय्यो दक्खिणेय्यो अञ्जलिकरणीयो अनुत्तरं पुञ्ञक्खेत्तं लोकस्स।
Katamehi pañcahi? Ajjavena, javena, maddavena, khantiyā, soraccena—imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi aṅgehi samannāgato rañño bhadro assājānīyo rājāraho hoti rājabhoggo, rañño aṅgantveva saṅkhaṁ gacchati. Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu āhuneyyo hoti pāhuneyyo dakkhiṇeyyo añjalikaraṇīyo anuttaraṁ puññakkhettaṁ lokassa.
What five? Integrity, speed, gentleness, patience, and sweetness. A fine royal thoroughbred with these five factors is worthy of a king. … In the same way, a bhikkhu with five qualities is worthy of offerings dedicated to the gods, worthy of hospitality, worthy of a religious donation, worthy of veneration with joined palms, and is the supreme field of merit for the world.
