“पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, आदीनवा कुलूपकस्स भिक्खुनो अतिवेलं कुलेसु संसट्ठस्स विहरतो। कतमे पञ्च? मातुगामस्स अभिण्हदस्सनं, दस्सने सति संसग्गो, संसग्गे सति विस्सासो, विस्सासे सति ओतारो, ओतिण्णचित्तस्सेतं पाटिकङ्खं: ‘अनभिरतो वा ब्रह्मचरियं चरिस्सति अञ्ञतरं वा सङ्किलिट्ठं आपत्तिं आपज्जिस्सति सिक्खं वा पच्चक्खाय हीनायावत्तिस्सतिऽ। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आदीनवा कुलूपकस्स भिक्खुनो अतिवेलं कुलेसु संसट्ठस्स विहरतो”ति।
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā kulūpakassa bhikkhuno ativelaṁ kulesu saṁsaṭṭhassa viharato. Katame pañca? Mātugāmassa abhiṇhadassanaṁ, dassane sati saṁsaggo, saṁsagge sati vissāso, vissāse sati otāro, otiṇṇacittassetaṁ pāṭikaṅkhaṁ: ‘anabhirato vā brahmacariyaṁ carissati aññataraṁ vā saṅkiliṭṭhaṁ āpattiṁ āpajjissati sikkhaṁ vā paccakkhāya hīnāyāvattissati’. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā kulūpakassa bhikkhuno ativelaṁ kulesu saṁsaṭṭhassa viharato”ti.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks for a bhikkhu who visits families for too long, mixing closely with them. What five? You often see members of the opposite sex. Seeing them, you become close. Being so close, you become intimate. Being intimate, lust overcomes you. When your mind is swamped by lust, you can expect that you will lead the spiritual life dissatisfied, or commit one of the corrupt offenses, or resign the training and return to a lesser life. These are the five drawbacks for a bhikkhu who visits families for too long, mixing closely with them.”
