5. Makkhasuttaṃ

5. Vuttañhetaṃ bhagavatā, vuttamarahatāti me sutaṃ –

‘‘Ekadhammaṃ, bhikkhave, pajahatha; ahaṃ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāya. Katamaṃ ekadhammaṃ? Makkhaṃ, bhikkhave, ekadhammaṃ pajahatha; ahaṃ vo pāṭibhogo anāgāmitāyā’’ti. Etamatthaṃ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṃ iti vuccati –

‘‘Yena makkhena makkhāse ², sattā gacchanti duggatiṃ;

Taṃ makkhaṃ sammadaññāya, pajahanti vipassino;

Pahāya na punāyanti, imaṃ lokaṃ kudācana’’nti.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti. Pañcamaṃ.
