“Mendicants, you shouldn’t take a second monk with five qualities. “Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato pacchāsamaṇo na ādātabbo. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? They walk too far away or too close behind. They don’t take your bowl when it’s full. They don’t warn you when your speech is bordering on an offense. They keep on interrupting while you’re speaking. And they’re witless, dull, and idiotic. Atidūre vā gacchati accāsanne vā, na pattapariyāpannaṁ gaṇhati, āpattisāmantā bhaṇamānaṁ na nivāreti, bhaṇamānassa antarantarā kathaṁ opāteti, duppañño hoti jaḷo eḷamūgo. You shouldn’t take a second monk these five qualities. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato pacchāsamaṇo na ādātabbo.

You should take a second monk with five qualities. Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato pacchāsamaṇo ādātabbo. What five? Katamehi pañcahi? They don’t walk too far away or too close behind. They take your bowl when it is full. They warn you when your speech is bordering on an offense. They don’t interrupt while you’re speaking. And they’re wise, bright, and clever. Nātidūre gacchati na accāsanne, pattapariyāpannaṁ gaṇhati, āpattisāmantā bhaṇamānaṁ nivāreti, bhaṇamānassa na antarantarā kathaṁ opāteti, paññavā hoti ajaḷo aneḷamūgo. You should take a second monk with these five qualities.” Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato pacchāsamaṇo ādātabbo”ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
