1There the Venerable Sāriputta addressed the bhikkhus ….

"Friends, a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way that he dies with regret. And how does a bhikkhu pass his time in such a way that he dies with regret?

2"Here, (1) a bhikkhu delights in work, takes delight in work, is devoted to delight in work … as in 6:14 … (6) he delights in proliferation, takes delight in proliferation, is devoted to delight in proliferation. When a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way he dies with regret. This is called a bhikkhu who delights in personal existence, who has not abandoned personal existence to completely make an end of suffering.

3"Friends, a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way that he dies without regret. And how does a bhikkhu pass his time in such a way that he dies without regret?

4"Here, (1) a bhikkhu does not delight in work, does not take delight in work, is not devoted to delight in work … … (6) does not delight in proliferation, does not take delight in proliferation, is not devoted to delight in proliferation. When a bhikkhu passes his time in such a way he dies without regret. This is called a bhikkhu who delights in nibbāna, who has abandoned personal existence to completely make an end of suffering."

5The creature [n.1274a] Mago. Lit., "a beast." Mp: "One like a beast" (magasadiso). devoted to proliferation,
who is delighted with proliferation,
has failed to attain nibbāna,
the unsurpassed security from bondage.

6But one who has abandoned proliferation,
who finds delight in non-proliferation,
has attained nibbāna,
the unsurpassed security from bondage.

"tathā tathāvuso, bhikkhu vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā anutappā hoti. Kathañcāvuso, bhikkhu tathā tathā vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā anutappā hoti?

2Idhāvuso, bhikkhu kammārāmo hoti kammarato kammārāmataṁ anuyutto, bhassārāmo hoti … niddārāmo hoti … saṅgaṇikārāmo hoti … saṁsaggārāmo hoti … papañcārāmo hoti papañcarato papañcārāmataṁ anuyutto. Evaṁ kho, āvuso, bhikkhu tathā tathā vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā anutappā hoti. Ayaṁ vuccatāvuso: ‘bhikkhu sakkāyābhirato nappajahāsi sakkāyaṁ sammā dukkhassa antakiriyāya’.

3Tathā tathāvuso, bhikkhu vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā ananutappā hoti. Kathañcāvuso, bhikkhu tathā tathā vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā ananutappā hoti?

4Idhāvuso, bhikkhu na kammārāmo hoti na kammarato na kammārāmataṁ anuyutto, na bhassārāmo hoti … na niddārāmo hoti … na saṅgaṇikārāmo hoti … na saṁsaggārāmo hoti … na papañcārāmo hoti na papañcarato na papañcārāmataṁ anuyutto. Evaṁ kho, āvuso, bhikkhu tathā tathā vihāraṁ kappeti yathā yathāssa vihāraṁ kappayato kālakiriyā ananutappā hoti. Ayaṁ vuccatāvuso: ‘bhikkhu nibbānābhirato pajahāsi sakkāyaṁ sammā dukkhassa antakiriyāyā’ti.

5Yo papañcamanuyutto,
papañcābhirato mago;
Virādhayī so nibbānaṁ,
yogakkhemaṁ anuttaraṁ.

6Yo ca papañcaṁ hitvāna,
nippapañcapade rato;
Ārādhayī so nibbānaṁ,
yogakkhemaṁ anuttaran"ti.

Pañcamaṁ.
