“साधुञ्च वो, भिक्खवे, देसेस्सामि असाधुञ्च। तं सुणाथ, साधुकं मनसि करोथ, भासिस्सामी”ति।

“Sādhuñca vo, bhikkhave, desessāmi asādhuñca. Taṁ suṇātha, sādhukaṁ manasi karotha, bhāsissāmī”ti.

“Bhikkhus, I will teach you what is good and what is not good. Listen and apply your mind well, I will speak.”

“एवं, भन्ते”ति खो ते भिक्खू भगवतो पच्चस्सोसुं। भगवा एतदवोच:

“Evaṁ, bhante”ti kho te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ. Bhagavā etadavoca:

“Yes, sir,” they replied. The Buddha said this:

“कतमञ्च, भिक्खवे, असाधु? पाणातिपातो, अदिन्नादानं, कामेसुमिच्छाचारो, मुसावादो, पिसुणा वाचा, फरुसा वाचा, सम्फप्पलापो, अभिज्झा, ब्यापादो, मिच्छादिट्ठि—इदं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, असाधु।

“Katamañca, bhikkhave, asādhu? Pāṇātipāto, adinnādānaṁ, kāmesumicchācāro, musāvādo, pisuṇā vācā, pharusā vācā, samphappalāpo, abhijjhā, byāpādo, micchādiṭṭhi—idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, asādhu.

“And what, bhikkhus, is not good? Killing living creatures, stealing, and sexual misconduct; speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical; covetousness, ill will, and wrong view. This is called what is not good.

कतमञ्च, भिक्खवे, साधु? पाणातिपाता वेरमणी, अदिन्नादाना वेरमणी, कामेसुमिच्छाचारा वेरमणी, मुसावादा वेरमणी, पिसुणाय वाचाय वेरमणी, फरुसाय वाचाय वेरमणी, सम्फप्पलापा वेरमणी, अनभिज्झा, अब्यापादो, सम्मादिट्ठि—इदं वुच्चति, भिक्खवे, साधू”ति।

Katamañca, bhikkhave, sādhu? Pāṇātipātā veramaṇī, adinnādānā veramaṇī, kāmesumicchācārā veramaṇī, musāvādā veramaṇī, pisuṇāya vācāya veramaṇī, pharusāya vācāya veramaṇī, samphappalāpā veramaṇī, anabhijjhā, abyāpādo, sammādiṭṭhi—idaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, sādhū”ti.

And what is good? Avoiding killing living creatures, stealing, and sexual misconduct; avoiding speech that’s false, divisive, harsh, or nonsensical; contentment, good will, and right view. This is called what is good.”
