5: The Book of the Fives
294–302. A Nigaṇṭha, Etc.
- DG BB TBW © Translated from the Pali by Bhikkhu Bodhi (More copyright information)
1"Bhikkhus, possessing five qualities, a Nigaṇṭha … a shaven-headed disciple … a matted-hair ascetic … a wanderer … a māgandika … a tedaṇḍika … an āruddhaka … a gotamaka … a devadhammika is deposited in hell as if brought there. [n.1249] In regard to the māgandika and the following, Mp says only that they are types of sectarians (titthiyā). I am uncertain which of these terms designate a specific religious school and which designate only a mode of practice. Hence I use initial capitals only for those that are known to designate religious schools contemporary with the Buddha. What five? He destroys life, takes what is not given, does not observe celibacy, speaks falsely, and indulges in liquor, wine, and intoxicants, the basis for heedlessness. Possessing these five qualities, a devadhammika is deposited in hell as if brought there."
1"Pañcahi, bhikkhave, dhammehi samannāgato nigaṇṭho … muṇḍasāvako … jaṭilako … paribbājako … māgaṇḍiko … tedaṇḍiko … āruddhako … gotamako … devadhammiko yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye. Katamehi pañcahi? Pāṇātipātī hoti, adinnādāyī hoti … pe … surāmerayamajjapamādaṭṭhāyī hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato devadhammiko yathābhataṁ nikkhitto evaṁ niraye"ti.
Sattarasamaṁ.
Sikkhāpadapeyyālaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ.
