Long Wandering (1st)

“पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, आदीनवा दीघचारिकं अनवत्थचारिकं अनुयुत्तस्स विहरतो। कतमे पञ्च? अस्सुतं न सुणाति, सुतं न परियोदापेति, सुतेनेकच्चेन अविसारदो होति, गाळ्हं रोगातङ्कं फुसति, न च मित्तवा होति। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आदीनवा दीघचारिकं अनवत्थचारिकं अनुयुत्तस्स विहरतो।

“Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato. Katame pañca? Assutaṁ na suṇāti, sutaṁ na pariyodāpeti, sutenekaccena avisārado hoti, gāḷhaṁ1 rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, na ca mittavā hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato.

“Bhikkhus, there are these five drawbacks for someone who likes long and aimless wandering. What five? You don’t learn new things. You don’t clarify what you’ve learned. You lack confidence in some things you have learned. You contract a severe illness. You don’t have any friends. These are the five drawbacks for someone who likes long and aimless wandering.

पञ्चिमे, भिक्खवे, आनिसंसा समवत्थचारे। कतमे पञ्च? अस्सुतं सुणाति, सुतं परियोदापेति, सुतेनेकच्चेन विसारदो होति, न गाळ्हं रोगातङ्कं फुसति, मित्तवा च होति। इमे खो, भिक्खवे, पञ्च आनिसंसा समवत्थचारे”ति।

Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre. Katame pañca? Assutaṁ suṇāti, sutaṁ pariyodāpeti, sutenekaccena visārado hoti, na gāḷhaṁ rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, mittavā ca hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre”ti.

There are these five benefits of a reasonable amount of wandering. What five? You learn new things. You clarify what you’ve learned. You have confidence in some things you have learned. You don’t contract severe illness. You have friends. These are the five benefits of a reasonable amount of wandering.”
