“Mendicants, these three individuals are found in the world. “Tayome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ. What three? Katame tayo? Someone easy to measure, someone hard to measure, and someone who is immeasurable. Suppameyyo, duppameyyo, appameyyo.

And who is the individual easy to measure? Katamo ca, bhikkhave, puggalo suppameyyo? It’s an individual who is restless, insolent, fickle, scurrilous, loose-tongued, unmindful, lacking situational awareness and immersion, with straying mind and undisciplined faculties. Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo uddhato hoti unnaḷo capalo mukharo vikiṇṇavāco muṭṭhassati asampajāno asamāhito vibbhantacitto pākatindriyo. This is called ‘an individual easy to measure’. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, puggalo suppameyyo.

And who is the individual hard to measure? Katamo ca, bhikkhave, puggalo duppameyyo? It’s an individual who is not restless, insolent, fickle, scurrilous, or loose-tongued. They have established mindfulness, situational awareness and immersion, with unified mind and restrained faculties. Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo anuddhato hoti anunnaḷo acapalo amukharo avikiṇṇavāco upaṭṭhitassati sampajāno samāhito ekaggacitto saṁvutindriyo. This is called ‘an individual hard to measure’. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, puggalo duppameyyo.

And who is the immeasurable individual? Katamo ca, bhikkhave, puggalo appameyyo? It’s a mendicant who is perfected, and has ended defilements. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu arahaṁ hoti khīṇāsavo. This is called ‘an immeasurable individual’. Ayaṁ vuccati, bhikkhave, puggalo appameyyo.

These are the three individuals found in the world.” Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.

Tatiyaṁ.
