The Discourse about Panthaka

ekaṁ samayaṁ Bhagavā Sāvatthiyaṁ viharati,
at one time the Fortunate One was dwelling near Sāvatthī,

Jetavane Anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.
in Jeta’s Wood, at Anāthapiṇḍika’s monastery.

Tena kho pana samayena āyasmā Cullapanthako
Then at that time venerable Cullapanthaka

Bhagavato avidūre nisinno hoti,
was sitting not far away from the Fortunate One,

pallaṅkaṁ ābhujitvā, ujuṁ kāyaṁ paṇidhāya,
after folding his legs crosswise, and setting his body straight,

parimukhaṁ satiṁ upaṭṭhapetvā.
and attending to mindfulness at the front.

Addasā kho Bhagavā āyasmantaṁ Cullapanthakaṁ
The Fortunate One saw venerable Cullapanthaka

avidūre nisinnaṁ pallaṅkaṁ ābhujitvā, ujuṁ kāyaṁ paṇidhāya,
sat not far away, after folding his legs crosswise, and setting his body straight,

parimukhaṁ satiṁ upaṭṭhapetvā.
and attending to mindfulness at the front.

Atha kho Bhagavā, etam-atthaṁ viditvā,
Then the Fortunate One, having understood the significance of it,

tāyaṁ velāyaṁ imaṁ udānaṁ udānesi:
on that occasion uttered this exalted utterance:

“Ṭhitena kāyena ṭhitena cetasā,
“With steady body, with steady mind,

Tiṭṭhaṁ nisinno uda vā sayāno,
Whether standing, sitting, or lying down,

Evaṁ satiṁ bhikkhu adhiṭṭhahāno,
The monk who is thus determined on mindfulness,

Labhetha pubbāpariyaṁ visesaṁ. This is an instance of where the constraints of the metre have necessitated the use of a singular, visesaṁ, where clearly a plural is implied.

Laddhāna pubbāpariyaṁ visesaṁ,
Having gained the earlier and following distinction(s),

Adassanaṁ Maccurājassa gacche” ti
