1"Bhikkhus, when a bhikkhu is established in one thing, the five faculties are developed, well developed in him. In what one thing? In diligence.

1"Ekadhamme patiṭṭhitassa, bhikkhave, bhikkhuno pañcindriyāni bhāvitāni honti subhāvitāni. Katamasmiṁ ekadhamme? Appamāde.

"And what, bhikkhus, is diligence? Here, bhikkhus, a bhikkhu guards the mind against the taints and against tainted states.[n.240] Cittaṃ rakkhati āsavesu ca sāsavesu ca dhammesu. Spk: He does this by preventing the arising of the taints in regard to the phenomena of the three planes. While he is guarding the mind thus, the faculty of faith goes to fulfilment by development; the faculty of energy … the faculty of mindfulness … the faculty of concentration … the faculty of wisdom goes to fulfilment by development.

Katamo ca bhikkhave, appamādo? Idha, bhikkhave, bhikkhu cittaṁ rakkhati āsavesu ca sāsavesu ca dhammesu. Tassa cittaṁ rakkhato āsavesu ca sāsavesu ca dhammesu saddhindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Vīriyindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Satindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Samādhindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati. Paññindriyampi bhāvanāpāripūriṁ gacchati.

"It is in this way, bhikkhus, that when a bhikkhu is established in one thing, the five faculties are developed, well developed in him."

Evampi kho, bhikkhave, ekadhamme patiṭṭhitassa bhikkhuno pañcindriyāni bhāvitāni honti subhāvitānī"ti.

Chaṭṭhaṁ.
