Sponsoring Sacrifice
एकं समयं भगवा राजगहे विहरति गिज्झकूटे पब्बते।
Ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā rājagahe viharati gijjhakūṭe pabbate.
At one time the Buddha was staying near Rājagaha, on the Vulture’s Peak Mountain.
अथ खो सक्को देवानमिन्दो येन भगवा तेनुपसङ्कमि; उपसङ्कमित्वा भगवन्तं अभिवादेत्वा एकमन्तं अट्ठासि। एकमन्तं ठितो खो सक्को देवानमिन्दो भगवन्तं गाथाय अज्झभासि:
Atha kho sakko devānamindo yena bhagavā tenupasaṅkami; upasaṅkamitvā bhagavantaṁ abhivādetvā ekamantaṁ aṭṭhāsi. Ekamantaṁ ṭhito kho sakko devānamindo bhagavantaṁ gāthāya ajjhabhāsi:
And then Sakka, lord of gods, went up to the Buddha, bowed, stood to one side, and addressed him in verse:
“यजमानानं मनुस्सानं, पुञ्ञपेक्खान पाणिनं; करोतं ओपधिकं पुञ्ञं, कत्थ दिन्नं महप्फलन्”ति।
“Yajamānānaṁ manussānaṁ, puññapekkhāna pāṇinaṁ; Karotaṁ opadhikaṁ puññaṁ, kattha dinnaṁ mahapphalan”ti.
“For humans, those merit-seeking creatures, who sponsor sacrifices, making worldly merit, where is a gift very fruitful?”
“चत्तारो च पटिपन्ना, चत्तारो च फले ठिता; एस सङ्घो उजुभूतो, पञ्ञासीलसमाहितो।
“Cattāro ca paṭipannā, cattāro ca phale ṭhitā; Esa saṅgho ujubhūto, paññāsīlasamāhito.
“Four practicing the path, and four established in the fruit. This is the upright Saṅgha, with wisdom, ethics, and samādhi.
यजमानानं मनुस्सानं, पुञ्ञपेक्खान पाणिनं; करोतं ओपधिकं पुञ्ञं, सङ्घे दिन्नं महप्फलन्”ति।
Yajamānānaṁ manussānaṁ, Puññapekkhāna pāṇinaṁ; Karotaṁ opadhikaṁ puññaṁ, Saṅghe dinnaṁ mahapphalan”ti.
For humans, those merit-seeking creatures, who sponsor sacrifices, making worldly merit, what is given to the Saṅgha is very fruitful.”
