“पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, आदीनवा अतिनिवासे। कतमे पञ्च? आवासमच्छरी होति, कुलमच्छरी होति, लाभमच्छरी होति, वण्णमच्छरी होति, धम्ममच्छरी होति। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आदीनवा अतिनिवासे।
“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā atinivāse. Katame pañca? Āvāsamaccharī hoti, kulamaccharī hoti, lābhamaccharī hoti, vaṇṇamaccharī hoti, dhammamaccharī hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā atinivāse.
“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks of overstaying. What five? You become stingy with dwellings, families, material possessions, praise, and the teaching. These are the five drawbacks of overstaying.
पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, आनिसंसा समवत्थवासे। कतमे पञ्च? न आवासमच्छरी होति, न कुलमच्छरी होति, न लाभमच्छरी होति, न वण्णमच्छरी होति, न धम्ममच्छरी होति। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आनिसंसा समवत्थवासे”ति।
Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā samavatthavāse. Katame pañca? Na āvāsamaccharī hoti, na kulamaccharī hoti, na lābhamaccharī hoti, na vaṇṇamaccharī hoti, na dhammamaccharī hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā samavatthavāse”ti.
There are these five benefits of staying for a reasonable length of time. What five? You’re not stingy with dwellings, families, material possessions, praise, and the teaching. These are the five benefits of staying for a reasonable length of time.”
