“Mendicants, a mendicant cultivating mindfulness of breathing who has five things will soon penetrate the unshakable. “Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu ānāpānassatiṁ āsevanto nacirasseva akuppaṁ paṭivijjhati. What five? Katamehi pañcahi?

It’s when a mendicant has few obligations and duties, and is unburdensome and contented with life’s necessities. Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu appaṭṭho hoti appakicco subharo susantoso jīvitaparikkhāresu;

They eat little, not devoted to filling their stomach. appāhāro hoti anodarikattaṁ anuyutto;

They are rarely drowsy, and are dedicated to wakefulness. appamiddho hoti jāgariyaṁ anuyutto;

They’re very learned, remembering and keeping what they’ve learned. These teachings are good in the beginning, good in the middle, and good in the end, meaningful and well-phrased, describing a spiritual practice that’s entirely full and pure. They are very learned in such teachings, remembering them, rehearsing them, mentally scrutinizing them, and penetrating them theoretically. bahussuto hoti sutadharo sutasannicayo, ye te dhammā ādikalyāṇā majjhekalyāṇā pariyosānakalyāṇā sātthaṁ sabyañjanaṁ kevalaparipuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ abhivadanti, tathārūpāssa dhammā bahussutā honti dhātā vacasā paricitā manasānupekkhitā diṭṭhiyā suppaṭividdhā;

They review the extent of their mind’s freedom. yathāvimuttaṁ cittaṁ paccavekkhati.

A mendicant cultivating mindfulness of breathing who has these five things will soon penetrate the unshakable.” Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu ānāpānassatiṁ āsevanto nacirasseva akuppaṁ paṭivijjhatī”ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
