1"Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu possesses five qualities, it is fitting for his fellow monks to live together with him. [n.1068] Mp: "To live together: asking questions and answering questions" (sājīvo ti pañhapucchanañceva pañhavissajjanañca). What five? (1) Here, a bhikkhu is himself accomplished in virtuous behavior, and he answers questions posed during a discussion on accomplishment in virtuous behavior. (2) He is himself accomplished in concentration, and he answers questions posed during a discussion on accomplishment in concentration. (3) He is himself accomplished in wisdom, and he answers questions posed during a discussion on accomplishment in wisdom. (4) He is himself accomplished in liberation, and he answers questions posed during a discussion on accomplishment in liberation. (5) He is himself accomplished in the knowledge and vision of liberation, and he answers questions posed during a discussion on accomplishment in the knowledge and vision of liberation. When a bhikkhu possesses these five qualities, it is fitting for his fellow monks to live together with him."

Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu attanā ca sīlasampanno hoti, sīlasampadāya kathāya ca kataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca samādhisampanno hoti, samādhisampadāya kathāya ca kataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca paññāsampanno hoti, paññāsampadāya kathāya ca kataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca vimuttisampanno hoti, vimuttisampadāya kathāya ca kataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti; attanā ca vimuttiñāṇadassanasampanno hoti, vimuttiñāṇadassanasampadāya kathāya ca kataṁ pañhaṁ byākattā hoti. Imehi kho, bhikkhave, pañcahi dhammehi samannāgato bhikkhu alaṁsājīvo sabrahmacārīnan"ti.
