Gone Forth When Old (2nd)
पञ्चहि, भिक्खवे, धम्मेहि समन्नागतो दुल्लभो वुड्ढपब्बजितो। कतमेहि पञ्चहि? दुल्लभो, भिक्खवे, वुड्ढपब्बजितो सुवचो, दुल्लभो सुग्गहितग्गाही, दुल्लभो पदक्खिणग्गाही, दुल्लभो धम्मकथिको, दुल्लभो विनयधरो। इमेहि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चहि धम्मेहि समन्नागतो दुल्लभो वुड्ढपब्बजितो”ति।
Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato dullabho vuḍḍhapabbajito. Katamehi pañcahi? Dullabho, bhikkhave, vuḍḍhapabbajito suvaco, dullabho suggahitaggāhī, dullabho padakkhiṇaggāhī, dullabho dhammakathiko, dullabho vinayadharo. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato dullabho vuḍḍhapabbajito”ti.
“Bhikkhus, it’s hard to find someone gone forth when old who has five qualities. What five? It’s hard to find someone gone forth when old who is easy to admonish, retains what they learn, and learns respectfully, who can teach the Dhamma, and has memorized the monastic law. It’s hard to find someone gone forth when old who has these five qualities.”
