222. Lengthy Wandering (2)

1"Bhikkhus, there are these five dangers for one who engages in lengthy and unsettled wandering. What five? One does not achieve what one has not yet achieved; one falls away from what one has already achieved; one is timid about some things one has achieved; one contracts a severe illness; and one has no friends. These are the five dangers for one who engages in lengthy and unsettled wandering.

1"Pañcime, bhikkhave, ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato. Katame pañca? Anadhigataṁ nādhigacchati, adhigatā parihāyati, adhigatenekaccena avisārado hoti, gāḷhaṁ rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, na ca mittavā hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ādīnavā dīghacārikaṁ anavatthacārikaṁ anuyuttassa viharato.

2"Bhikkhus, there are these five benefits in periodic wandering. What five? One achieves what one has not yet achieved; one does not fall away from what one has already achieved; one is confident about the portion that one has achieved; one does not contract a severe illness; and one has friends. These are the five benefits in periodic wandering."

2Pañcime, bhikkhave, ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre. Katame pañca? Anadhigataṁ adhigacchati, adhigatā na parihāyati, adhigatenekaccena visārado hoti, na gāḷhaṁ rogātaṅkaṁ phusati, mittavā ca hoti. Ime kho, bhikkhave, pañca ānisaṁsā samavatthacāre"ti.

Dutiyaṁ.
