“Punāparaṁ yadā homi, brāhmaṇo saṅkhasavhayo;“Then again when I was a brahmin named Saṅkha, Mahāsamuddaṁ taritukāmo, upagacchāmi paṭṭanaṁ.wanting to cross the great ocean, I was on my way to the port.

Tatthaddasaṁ paṭipathe, sayambhuṁ aparājitaṁ;There I saw across the way one self-awakened, undefeated, Kantāraddhānaṁ paṭipannaṁ, tattāya kaṭhinabhūmiyā.
Kantāraddhānaṁ paṭipannaṁ → kantāraddhānapaṭipannaṁ (bj, pts-vp-pli1-2); kantāramaddhānaṁ paṭipannaṁ (sya1ed, sya2ed)walking a desert road whose ground was hot and rough.

Tamahaṁ paṭipathe disvā, imamatthaṁ vicintayiṁ;Seeing him across the way, I thought this: ‘Idaṁ khettaṁ anuppattaṁ, puññakāmassa jantuno.‘A field has appeared for a personage desiring merit.

Yathā kassako puriso, khettaṁ disvā mahāgamaṁ;Now suppose a farmer seeing a fertile field Tattha bījaṁ na ropeti, na so dhaññena atthiko.does not sow seed there, then they are not in need of grain.

Evamevāhaṁ puññakāmo, disvā khettavaruttamaṁ;So too, if I, desiring merit, seeing a supreme excellent field, Yadi tattha kāraṁ na karomi, nāhaṁ puññena atthiko.do not render service there, then I am not in need of merit.

Yathā amacco muddikāmo, rañño antepure jane;Or suppose a minister seeking the royal seal of authority over the people of the court, Na deti tesaṁ dhanadhaññaṁ, muddito parihāyati.does not give them money and grain, their authority dwindles.

Evamevāhaṁ puññakāmo, vipulaṁ disvāna dakkhiṇaṁ;So too, if I, desiring merit, seeing an abundantly worthy recipient, Yadi tassa dānaṁ na dadāmi, parihāyissāmi puññato’.do not give gifts to them, I will dwindle in merit.’

Evāhaṁ cintayitvāna, orohitvā upāhanā;Reflecting in this way, I took off my sandals Tassa pādāni vanditvā, adāsiṁ chattupāhanaṁ.and bowed to his feet, giving him an umbrella and sandals.

Tenevāhaṁ sataguṇato, sukhumālo sukhedhito;Though I was a hundred times more delicate and pampered than him, Api ca dānaṁ paripūrento, evaṁ tassa adāsahan”ti.fulfilling my giving, I gave like this to him.”

Saṅkhacariyaṁ dutiyaṁ.
Saṅkhacariyaṁ → saṅkhabrāhmaṇacariyaṁ (sya1ed, sya2ed)
