“पञ्चिमानि, भिक्खवे, सेखबलानि। कतमानि पञ्च? सद्धाबलं, हिरीबलं, ओत्तप्पबलं, वीरियबलं, पञ्ञाबलं—इमानि खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च सेखबलानि। इमेसं खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्चन्नं सेखबलानं एतं अग्गं एतं सङ्गाहिकं एतं सङ्घातनियं, यदिदं पञ्ञाबलं।
“Pañcimāni, bhikkhave, sekhabalāni. Katamāni pañca? Saddhābalaṁ, hirībalaṁ, ottappabalaṁ, vīriyabalaṁ, paññābalaṁ—imāni kho, bhikkhave, pañca sekhabalāni. Imesaṁ kho, bhikkhave, pañcannaṁ sekhabalānaṁ etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saṅgāhikaṁ etaṁ saṅghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ paññābalaṁ.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five powers of a trainee. What five? The powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom. These are the five powers of a trainee. Of these five powers of a trainee, the power of wisdom is the chief. It holds and binds everything together.
सेय्यथापि, भिक्खवे, कूटागारस्स एतं अग्गं एतं सङ्गाहिकं एतं सङ्घातनियं, यदिदं कूटं। एवमेवं खो, भिक्खवे, इमेसं पञ्चन्नं सेखबलानं एतं अग्गं एतं सङ्गाहिकं एतं सङ्घातनियं, यदिदं पञ्ञाबलं।
Seyyathāpi, bhikkhave, kūṭāgārassa etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saṅgāhikaṁ etaṁ saṅghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ kūṭaṁ. Evamevaṁ kho, bhikkhave, imesaṁ pañcannaṁ sekhabalānaṁ etaṁ aggaṁ etaṁ saṅgāhikaṁ etaṁ saṅghātaniyaṁ, yadidaṁ paññābalaṁ.
It’s like a bungalow. The roof-peak is the chief point, which holds and binds everything together. In the same way, of these five powers of a trainee, the power of wisdom is the chief. It holds and binds everything together.
तस्मातिह, भिक्खवे, एवं सिक्खितब्बं: ‘सद्धाबलेन समन्नागता भविस्साम सेखबलेन, हिरीबलेन … ओत्तप्पबलेन … वीरियबलेन … पञ्ञाबलेन समन्नागता भविस्साम सेखबलेनाऽति। एवञ्हि वो, भिक्खवे, सिक्खितब्बन्”ति।
Tasmātiha, bhikkhave, evaṁ sikkhitabbaṁ: ‘saddhābalena samannāgatā bhavissāma sekhabalena, hirībalena … ottappabalena … vīriyabalena … paññābalena samannāgatā bhavissāma sekhabalenā’ti. Evañhi vo, bhikkhave, sikkhitabban”ti.
So you should train like this: ‘We will have the trainee’s powers of faith, conscience, prudence, energy, and wisdom.’ That’s how you should train.”
दुतियं।
Dutiyaṁ.
