This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard. Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:

“Mendicants, without being keen and prudent a mendicant can’t achieve awakening, extinguishment, and the supreme sanctuary from the yoke. “Anātāpī, bhikkhave, bhikkhu anottāpī abhabbo sambodhāya, abhabbo nibbānāya, abhabbo anuttarassa yogakkhemassa adhigamāya. But if a mendicant is keen and prudent they can achieve awakening, extinguishment, and the supreme sanctuary from the yoke.” Ātāpī ca kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu ottāpī bhabbo sambodhāya, bhabbo nibbānāya, bhabbo anuttarassa yogakkhemassa adhigamāyā”ti.

The Buddha spoke this matter. Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. On this it is said: Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Neither keen nor prudent, “Anātāpī anottāpī, lazy, lacking energy, kusīto hīnavīriyo; full of dullness and drowsiness, Yo thinamiddhabahulo, unconscientious, lacking regard for others, ahirīko anādaro; such a mendicant is incapable Abhabbo tādiso bhikkhu, of experiencing the highest awakening. phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttamaṁ.

One who is mindful, alert, meditative, Yo ca satimā nipako jhāyī, keen, prudent, and diligent, Ātāpī ottāpī ca appamatto; having cut the fetter of birth and old age, Saṁyojanaṁ jātijarāya chetvā, would experience supreme awakening <j>in this very life.” Idheva sambodhimanuttaraṁ phuse”ti.

This too is a matter that was spoken by the Blessed One: that is what I heard. Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.

Sattamaṁ.
