At Sāvatthī. Sāvatthinidānaṁ.

Then a mendicant went up to the Buddha … and asked him, Atha kho aññataro bhikkhu …pe… ekamantaṁ nisinno kho so bhikkhu bhagavantaṁ etadavoca: “Sir, may the Buddha please teach me Dhamma in brief. When I’ve heard it, I’ll live alone, withdrawn, diligent, keen, and resolute.” “sādhu me, bhante, bhagavā saṅkhittena dhammaṁ desetu, yamahaṁ bhagavato dhammaṁ sutvā …pe… vihareyyan”ti.

“Mendicant, give up desire for anything that’s stuck in what’s arousing.” “Yaṁ kho, bhikkhu, rajanīyasaṇṭhitaṁ; tatra te chando pahātabbo”ti.

“Understood, Blessed One! Understood, Holy One!” “Aññātaṁ, bhagavā, aññātaṁ, sugatā”ti.

“But how do you see the detailed meaning of my brief statement?” “Yathā kathaṁ pana tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāsī”ti?

“Sir, form is stuck in what’s arousing; I should give up desire for it. “Rūpaṁ kho, bhante, rajanīyasaṇṭhitaṁ; tatra me chando pahātabbo.

Feeling … Vedanā …

Perception … saññā …

Choices … saṅkhārā …

Consciousness is stuck in what’s arousing; I should give up desire for it. viññāṇaṁ rajanīyasaṇṭhitaṁ; tatra me chando pahātabbo.

That’s how I understand the detailed meaning of the Buddha’s brief statement.” Imassa khvāhaṁ, bhante, bhagavatā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa evaṁ vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāmī”ti.

“Good, good, mendicant! “Sādhu sādhu, bhikkhu. It’s good that you understand the detailed meaning of what I’ve said in brief like this. Sādhu kho tvaṁ, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa vitthārena atthaṁ ājānāsi.

Form is stuck in what’s arousing; you should give up desire for it. Rūpaṁ kho, bhikkhu, rajanīyasaṇṭhitaṁ; tatra te chando pahātabbo.

Feeling … Vedanā …

Perception … saññā …

Choices … saṅkhārā …

Consciousness is stuck in what’s arousing; you should give up desire for it. viññāṇaṁ rajanīyasaṇṭhitaṁ; tatra te chando pahātabbo.

This is how to understand the detailed meaning of what I said in brief.” … Imassa kho, bhikkhu, mayā saṅkhittena bhāsitassa evaṁ vitthārena attho daṭṭhabbo”ti …pe…

And that mendicant became one of the perfected. aññataro ca pana so bhikkhu arahataṁ ahosīti.

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
