They’re not accomplished in being well-presented and doing their duties. Na ākappasampanno hoti na vattasampanno; They’re not very learned and don’t remember what they’ve learned. na bahussuto hoti na sutadharo; They’re not self-effacing and don’t enjoy self-effacement. na paṭisallekhitā hoti na paṭisallānārāmo; They’re not a good speaker and do not enunciate well. na kalyāṇavāco hoti na kalyāṇavākkaraṇo; They’re witless, dull, and idiotic. duppañño hoti jaḷo eḷamūgo. A resident mendicant with these five qualities is not admirable. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato āvāsiko bhikkhu abhāvanīyo hoti.
