The Question of Sakka

एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति गिज्झकूटे पब्बते। अथ खो सक्को देवानमिन्दो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं अट्ठासि। एकमन्तं ठितो खो सक्को देवानमिन्दो भगवन्तं एतदवोच:

Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati gijjhakūṭe pabbate. Atha kho sakko devānamindo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho sakko devānamindo bhagavantaṁ etadavoca:

At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain. And then Sakka, lord of gods, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and said to him:

“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?

“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?

“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, what is the reason why some sentient beings are fully extinguished in the present life?”

“सन्ति खो, देवानमिन्द, 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, देवानमिन्द, भिक्खु नो परिनिब्बायति …पे…।

“Santi kho, devānaminda, 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, devānaminda, bhikkhu no parinibbāyati …pe….

“Lord of gods, 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.

सन्ति खो, देवानमिन्द, जिव्हाविञ्ञेय्या रसा …पे… सन्ति खो, देवानमिन्द, 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, देवानमिन्द, भिक्खु नो परिनिब्बायति। अयं खो, देवानमिन्द, हेतु, अयं पच्चयो येन म्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता दिट्ठेव धम्मे नो परिनिब्बायन्ति।

Santi kho, devānaminda, jivhāviññeyyā rasā …pe… santi kho, devānaminda, 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, devānaminda, bhikkhu no parinibbāyati. Ayaṁ kho, devānaminda, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme no parinibbāyanti.

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, देवानमिन्द, 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, देवानमिन्द, भिक्खु परिनिब्बायति …पे…।

Santi ca kho, devānaminda, 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, devānaminda, bhikkhu parinibbāyati …pe….

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.

सन्ति खो, देवानमिन्द, जिव्हाविञ्ञेय्या रसा …पे… सन्ति खो, देवानमिन्द, मनोविञ्ञेय्या धम्मा 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, देवानमिन्द, भिक्खु परिनिब्बायति। अयं खो, देवानमिन्द, हेतु, अयं पच्चयो येन म्ऽइधेकच्चे सत्ता दिट्ठेव धम्मे परिनिब्बायन्ती”ति।

Santi kho, devānaminda, jivhāviññeyyā rasā …pe… santi kho, devānaminda, manoviññeyyā dhammā 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, devānaminda, bhikkhu parinibbāyati. Ayaṁ kho, devānaminda, hetu, ayaṁ paccayo yena m’idhekacce sattā diṭṭheva dhamme parinibbāyantī”ti.
