Sulabhasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, appāni ceva sulabhāni ca, tāni ca anavajjāni.“Monks, these four things are next to nothing, both easy to gain & blameless.
Katamāni cattāri?Which four?
Paṁsukūlaṁ, bhikkhave, cīvarānaṁ appañca sulabhañca, tañca anavajjaṁ.Cast-off cloth is next to nothing, both easy to gain & blameless.
Piṇḍiyālopo, bhikkhave, bhojanānaṁ appañca sulabhañca, tañca anavajjaṁ.Alms food is next to nothing, both easy to gain & blameless.
Rukkhamūlaṁ, bhikkhave, senāsanānaṁ appañca sulabhañca, tañca anavajjaṁ.The root of a tree as a dwelling place is next to nothing, both easy to gain & blameless.
Pūtimuttaṁ, bhikkhave, bhesajjānaṁ appañca sulabhañca tañca anavajjaṁ.Medicine made of smelly urine is next to nothing, both easy to gain & blameless.
Imāni kho, bhikkhave, cattāri appāni ceva sulabhāni ca, tāni ca anavajjāni.These are the four things that are next to nothing, both easy to gain & blameless.
Yato kho, bhikkhave, bhikkhu appena ca tuṭṭho hoti sulabhena ca anavajjena ca, idamassāhaṁ aññataraṁ sāmaññaṅganti vadāmī”ti.
anavajjena ca → etthantare pāṭho si, pts1ed, mr potthakesu ca 15A4:184 caWhen a monk is content with what is next to nothing, easy to gain & blameless,
then I say that he has one of the component factors of the contemplative life.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
