नकुलपितुसुत्त

Nakulapitusutta

Nakula’s Father

एकं समयं भगवा भग्गेसु विहरति सुसुमारगिरे भेसकळावने मिगदाये।

Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā bhaggesu viharati susumāragire bhesakaḷāvane migadāye.

At one time the Buddha was staying in the land of the Bhaggas on Crocodile Hill, in the deer park at Bhesakaḷā’s Wood.

अथ खो नकुलपिता गहपति येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि …पे… एकमन्तं निसिन्नो खो नकुलपिता गहपति भगवन्तं एतदवोच: “को नु खो, भन्ते, हेतु, को पच्चयो येन म्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता दिट्ठेव धम्मे नो परिनिब्बायन्ति? को पन, भन्ते, हेतु, को पच्चयो येन म्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता दिट्ठेव धम्मे परिनिब्बायन्ती”ति?

Atha kho nakulapitā gahapati yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho nakulapitā gahapati bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “ko nu kho, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti? Ko pana, bhante, hetu, ko paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti?

Then the householder Nakula’s father went up to the Buddha … and asked him, “What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings aren’t fully extinguished in the present life? What is the cause, sir, what is the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in the present life?”

“सन्ति खो, गहपति, चक्खुविञ्ञेय्या रूपा इट्ठा कन्ता मनापा पियरूपा कामूपसंहिता रजनीया। तञ्चे भिक्खु अभिनन्दति अभिवदति अज्झोसाय तिट्ठति। तस्स तं अभिनन्दतो अभिवदतो अज्झोसाय तिट्ठतो तन्निस्सितं विञ्ञाणं होति तदुपादानं। सौपादानो, गहपति, भिक्खु नो परिनिब्बायति …पे… सन्ति खो, गहपति, जिव्हाविञ्ञेय्या रसा …पे… सन्ति खो, गहपति, मनोविञ्ञेय्या धम्मा इट्ठा कन्ता मनापा पियरूपा कामूपसंहिता रजनीया। तञ्चे भिक्खु अभिनन्दति अभिवदति अज्झोसाय तिट्ठति। तस्स तं अभिनन्दतो अभिवदतो अज्झोसाय तिट्ठतो तन्निस्सितं विञ्ञाणं होति तदुपादानं। सौपादानो, गहपति, भिक्खु नो परिनिब्बायति। अयं खो, गहपति, हेतु अयं पच्चयो येन म्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता दिट्ठेव धम्मे नो परिनिब्बायन्ति।

“Santi kho, gahapati, cakkhuviññeyyā rūpā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā. Tañce bhikkhu abhinandati abhivadati ajjhosāya tiṭṭhati. Tassa taṁ abhinandato abhivadato ajjhosāya tiṭṭhato tannissitaṁ viññāṇaṁ hoti tadupādānaṁ. Saupādāno, gahapati, bhikkhu no parinibbāyati …pe… santi kho, gahapati, jivhāviññeyyā rasā …pe… santi kho, gahapati, manoviññeyyā dhammā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā. Tañce bhikkhu abhinandati abhivadati ajjhosāya tiṭṭhati. Tassa taṁ abhinandato abhivadato ajjhosāya tiṭṭhato tannissitaṁ viññāṇaṁ hoti tadupādānaṁ. Saupādāno, gahapati, bhikkhu no parinibbāyati. Ayaṁ kho, gahapati, hetu ayaṁ paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti.

“Householder, there are sights known by the eye that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. If a bhikkhu approves, welcomes, and keeps clinging to them, their consciousness relies on that and grasps it. A bhikkhu with grasping does not become extinguished. There are sounds … smells … tastes … touches … thoughts known by the mind that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. If a bhikkhu approves, welcomes, and keeps clinging to them, their consciousness relies on that and grasps it. A bhikkhu with grasping does not become extinguished. That’s the cause, that’s the reason why some sentient beings aren’t fully extinguished in the present life.

सन्ति च खो, गहपति, चक्खुविञ्ञेय्या रूपा इट्ठा कन्ता मनापा पियरूपा कामूपसंहिता रजनीया। तञ्चे भिक्खु नाभिनन्दति नाभिवदति नाज्झोसाय तिट्ठति। तस्स तं अनभिनन्दतो अनभिवदतो अनज्झोसाय तिट्ठतो न तन्निस्सितं विञ्ञाणं होति, न तदुपादानं। अनुपादानो, गहपति, भिक्खु परिनिब्बायति …पे… सन्ति खो, गहपति, जिव्हाविञ्ञेय्या रसा …पे… सन्ति खो, गहपति, मनोविञ्ञेय्या धम्मा इट्ठा कन्ता मनापा पियरूपा कामूपसंहिता रजनीया। तञ्चे भिक्खु नाभिनन्दति नाभिवदति नाज्झोसाय तिट्ठति। तस्स तं नाभिनन्दतो नाभिवदतो अनज्झोसाय तिट्ठतो न तन्निस्सितं विञ्ञाणं होति न तदुपादानं। अनुपादानो, गहपति, भिक्खु परिनिब्बायति। अयं खो, गहपति, हेतु, अयं पच्चयो येन म्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता दिट्ठेव धम्मे परिनिब्बायन्ती”ति।

Santi ca kho, gahapati, cakkhuviññeyyā rūpā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā. Tañce bhikkhu nābhinandati nābhivadati nājjhosāya tiṭṭhati. Tassa taṁ anabhinandato anabhivadato anajjhosāya tiṭṭhato na tannissitaṁ viññāṇaṁ hoti, na tadupādānaṁ. Anupādāno, gahapati, bhikkhu parinibbāyati …pe… santi kho, gahapati, jivhāviññeyyā rasā …pe… santi kho, gahapati, manoviññeyyā dhammā iṭṭhā kantā manāpā piyarūpā kāmūpasaṁhitā rajanīyā.

Anupādāno, gahapati, bhikkhu parinibbāyati. Ayaṁ kho, gahapati, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti.

There are sights known by the eye that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. If a bhikkhu doesn’t approve, welcome, and keep clinging to them, their consciousness doesn’t rely on that and grasp it. A bhikkhu free of grasping becomes extinguished. There are sounds … smells … tastes … touches … thoughts known by the mind that are likable, desirable, agreeable, pleasant, sensual, and arousing. If a bhikkhu doesn’t approve, welcome, and keep clinging to them, their consciousness doesn’t rely on that and grasp it. A bhikkhu free of grasping becomes extinguished. That’s the cause, that’s the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in the present life.”
