“Mendicants, without giving up these five qualities you can’t enter and remain in the first absorption. “Pañcime, bhikkhave, dhamme appahāya abhabbo paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharituṁ. What five? Katame pañca? Stinginess with dwellings, families, material things, praise, and lack of gratitude and thankfulness. Āvāsamacchariyaṁ, kulamacchariyaṁ, lābhamacchariyaṁ, vaṇṇamacchariyaṁ, akataññutaṁ akataveditaṁ. Without giving up these five qualities you can’t enter and remain in the first absorption. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dhamme appahāya abhabbo paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharituṁ.

But after giving up these five qualities you can enter and remain in the first absorption. Pañcime, bhikkhave, dhamme pahāya bhabbo paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharituṁ. What five? Katame pañca? Stinginess with dwellings, families, material things, praise, and lack of gratitude and thankfulness. Āvāsamacchariyaṁ, kulamacchariyaṁ, lābhamacchariyaṁ, vaṇṇamacchariyaṁ, akataññutaṁ akataveditaṁ. After giving up these five qualities you can enter and remain in the first absorption.” Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca dhamme pahāya bhabbo paṭhamaṁ jhānaṁ upasampajja viharitun”ti.

Cuddasamaṁ.
