“पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो गिलानुपट्ठाको नालं गिलानं उपट्ठातुं। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? नप्पटिबलो होति भेसज्जं संविधातुं; सप्पायासप्पायं न जानाति, असप्पायं उपनामेति, सप्पायं अपनामेति; आमिसन्तरो गिलानं उपट्ठाति, नो मेत्तचित्तो; जेगुच्छी होति उच्चारं वा पस्सावं वा वन्तं वा खेळं वा नीहरितुं; नप्पटिबलो होति गिलानं कालेन कालं धम्मिया कथाय सन्दस्सेतुं समादपेतुं समुत्तेजेतुं सम्पहंसेतुं। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो गिलानुपट्ठाको नालं गिलानं उपट्ठातुं।
“Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato gilānupaṭṭhāko nālaṁ gilānaṁ upaṭṭhātuṁ. Katamehi pañcahi? Nappaṭibalo hoti bhesajjaṁ saṁvidhātuṁ; sappāyāsappāyaṁ na jānāti, asappāyaṁ upanāmeti, sappāyaṁ apanāmeti; āmisantaro gilānaṁ upaṭṭhāti, no mettacitto; jegucchī hoti uccāraṁ vā passāvaṁ vā vantaṁ vā kheḷaṁ vā nīharituṁ; nappaṭibalo1 hoti gilānaṁ kālena kālaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetuṁ samādapetuṁ samuttejetuṁ sampahaṁsetuṁ. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato gilānupaṭṭhāko nālaṁ gilānaṁ upaṭṭhātuṁ.
“Bhikkhus, a carer with five qualities is not competent to care for a patient. What five? They’re unable to prepare medicine. They don’t know what is suitable and unsuitable, so they supply what is unsuitable and remove what is suitable. They care for the sick for the sake of material benefits, not out of love. They’re disgusted to remove feces, urine, vomit, or spit. They’re unable to educate, encourage, fire up, and inspire the patient with a Dhamma talk from time to time. A carer with these five qualities is not competent to care for a patient.
पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो गिलानुपट्ठाको अलं गिलानं उपट्ठातुं। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? पटिबलो होति भेसज्जं संविधातुं; सप्पायासप्पायं जानाति, असप्पायं अपनामेति, सप्पायं उपनामेति; मेत्तचित्तो गिलानं उपट्ठाति, नो आमिसन्तरो; अजेगुच्छी होति उच्चारं वा पस्सावं वा वन्तं वा खेळं वा नीहरितुं; पटिबलो होति गिलानं कालेन कालं धम्मिया कथाय सन्दस्सेतुं समादपेतुं समुत्तेजेतुं सम्पहंसेतुं। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो गिलानुपट्ठाको अलं गिलानं उपट्ठातुन्”ति।
Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato gilānupaṭṭhāko alaṁ gilānaṁ upaṭṭhātuṁ. Katamehi pañcahi? Paṭibalo hoti bhesajjaṁ saṁvidhātuṁ; sappāyāsappāyaṁ jānāti, asappāyaṁ apanāmeti, sappāyaṁ upanāmeti; mettacitto gilānaṁ upaṭṭhāti, no āmisantaro; ajegucchī hoti uccāraṁ vā passāvaṁ vā vantaṁ vā kheḷaṁ vā nīharituṁ; paṭibalo hoti gilānaṁ kālena kālaṁ dhammiyā kathāya sandassetuṁ samādapetuṁ samuttejetuṁ sampahaṁsetuṁ.
