Accomplishment in Ethics Sampannasīlasutta
This was said by the Buddha, the Perfected One: that is what I heard. VuttaƱhetaį¹ bhagavatÄ vuttamarahatÄti me sutaį¹:
āMendicants, live by the ethical precepts and the monastic code. Live restrained in the monastic code, conducting yourselves well and resorting for alms in suitable places. Seeing danger in the slightest fault, keep the rules youāve undertaken. āSampannasÄ«lÄ, bhikkhave, viharatha sampannapÄtimokkhÄ; pÄtimokkhasaį¹varasaį¹vutÄ viharatha ÄcÄragocarasampannÄ aį¹umattesu vajjesu bhayadassÄvino; samÄdÄya sikkhatha sikkhÄpadesu.

Suppose a mendicant has got rid of desire and ill will while walking, and has given up dullness and drowsiness, restlessness and remorse, and doubt. Their energy is roused up and unflagging, their mindfulness is established and lucid, their body is tranquil and undisturbed, and their mind is immersed in samÄdhi and unified.

The Buddha spoke this matter. Etamatthaį¹ bhagavÄ avoca. On this it is said: Tatthetaį¹ iti vuccati:

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