Saṁyutta Nikāya — The Connected Discourses

SN14: Connected Discourses on Elements

SN14:22 Rooted in the Lazy

1"Bhikkhus, it is by way of elements that beings come together and unite. The lazy come together and unite with the lazy, the muddle-minded with the muddle-minded, the unwise with the unwise. The energetic come together and unite with the energetic, the mindful with the mindful, the wise with the wise. In the past it was so; in the future it will be so; and now too at present it is so." sn.ii.166

1Sāvatthiyaṁ vihārati. "Dhātusova, bhikkhave, sattā saṁsandanti samenti. Kusītā kusītehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; muṭṭhassatino muṭṭhassatīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; duppaññā duppaññehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; āraddhavīriyā āraddhavīriyehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; upaṭṭhitassatino upaṭṭhitassatīhi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samenti; paññavanto paññavantehi saddhiṁ saṁsandanti samentī"ti … pe … .


Dvādasamaṁ.

(Sabbattha atītānāgatapaccuppannaṁ kātabbaṁ.)

Dutiyo vaggo.

2Sattimā sanidānañca,
giñjakāvasathena ca;
Hīnādhimutti caṅkamaṁ,
sagāthā assaddhasattamaṁ.

3Assaddhamūlakā pañca,
Cattāro ahirikamūlakā;
Anottappamūlakā tīṇi,
Duve appassutena ca.

4Kusītaṁ ekakaṁ vuttaṁ,
Suttantā tīṇi pañcakā;
Bāvīsati vuttā suttā,
Dutiyo vaggo pavuccatīti.
