“පඤ්චිමේ, භික්ඛවේ, ආදීනවා අතිනිවාසේ. කතමේ පඤ්ච? බහුභණ්ඩෝ හෝති බහුභණ්ඩසන්නිචයෝ, බහුභේසජ්ජෝ හෝති බහුභේසජ්ජසන්නිචයෝ, බහුකිච්චෝ හෝති බහුකරණීයෝ බ්‍යත්තෝ කිඞ්කරණීයේසු, සංසට්ඨෝ විහරති ගහට්ඨපබ්බජිතේහි අනනුලෝමිකේන ගිහිසංසග්ගේන, තම්හා ච ආවාසා පක්කමන්තෝ සාපේක්ඛෝ පක්කමති. ඉමේ ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, පඤ්ච ආදීනවා අතිනිවාසේ.

“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks of overstaying. What five? You have a lot of stuff and store it up. You have a lot of medicine and store it up. You have a lot of duties and responsibilities, and become capable in whatever needs to be done. You mix closely with laypeople and renunciates, socializing inappropriately like a layperson. And when you leave that monastery, you miss it. These are the five drawbacks of overstaying.

පඤ්චිමේ, භික්ඛවේ, ආනිසංසා සමවත්ථවාසේ. කතමේ පඤ්ච? න බහුභණ්ඩෝ හෝති න බහුභණ්ඩසන්නිචයෝ, න බහුභේසජ්ජෝ හෝති න බහුභේසජ්ජසන්නිචයෝ, න බහුකිච්චෝ හෝති න බහුකරණීයෝ න බ්‍යත්තෝ කිඞ්කරණීයේසු, අසංසට්ඨෝ විහරති ගහට්ඨපබ්බජිතේහි අනනුලෝමිකේන ගිහිසංසග්ගේන, තම්හා ච ආවාසා පක්කමන්තෝ අනපේක්ඛෝ පක්කමති. ඉමේ ඛෝ, භික්ඛවේ, පඤ්ච ආනිසංසා සමවත්ථවාසේ”ති.

There are these five benefits of staying for a reasonable length of time. What five? You don’t have a lot of stuff and store it up. You don’t have a lot of medicine and store it up. You don’t have a lot of duties and responsibilities, or become capable in whatever needs to be done. You don’t mix closely with laypeople and renunciates, socializing inappropriately like a layperson. And when you leave that monastery, you don’t miss it. These are the five benefits of staying for a reasonable length of time.”
