Bahukārasutta

Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:
vuttañhetaṁ → vuttaṁ hetaṁ (bjt)
This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:

“Bahukārā, bhikkhave, brāhmaṇagahapatikā tumhākaṁ ye vo paccupaṭṭhitā cīvarapiṇḍapātasenāsanagilānapaccayabhesajjaparikkhārehi.
vo → ye te (bj, sya-all) | Bahukārā → bahūpakārā (cck: sī. pī.) | vo → ye te (cck: sabbattha) | brāhmaṇagahapatikā → brahmaṇa-, P. Pa; brahmaṇā, B. (pts note) | vo → te, C.; in B. and M. the letters can be read vo and te. (pts note)
“Monks, brahmans & householders are very helpful to you, as they provide you with the requisites of robes, alms food, lodgings, & medical requisites for the sick.
Tumhepi, bhikkhave, bahukārā brāhmaṇagahapatikānaṁ yaṁ nesaṁ dhammaṁ desetha ādikalyāṇaṁ majjhekalyāṇaṁ pariyosānakalyāṇaṁ sātthaṁ sabyañjanaṁ, kevalaparipuṇṇaṁ parisuddhaṁ brahmacariyaṁ pakāsetha.
yaṁ → ye (?) | bahukārā → bahūpakārā (bj, pts) | yaṁ → ye (cck: ?) | pi → hi, B. (pts note) | bahūpakārā → bahup-, B. M. P. Pa. (pts note) | brāhmaṇagahapatikānaṁ → brahm-, B. P. Pa. (pts note) | nesaṁ → tesaṁ, C. (pts note) | sātthaṁ → satth-, M. P. (pts note) | savyañjanaṁ → saby-, B. M. P. Pa. (pts note) | pakāsetha → -seti, D. E. (pts note) | tumhepi → tumhe pi (pts)
And you, monks, are very helpful to brahmans & householders, as you teach them the Dhamma admirable in the beginning, admirable in the middle, admirable in the end; as you expound the holy life both in its particulars & in its essence, entirely complete, surpassingly pure.
Evamidaṁ, bhikkhave, aññamaññaṁ nissāya brahmacariyaṁ vussati oghassa nittharaṇatthāya sammā dukkhassa antakiriyāyā”ti.
vussati → vuccati P. (pts note) | nittharaṇatthāya → -ttāya, B. (pts note) | sammā dukkhassa → sammādukkhassa (th) | aññamaññaṁ → aññam-aññaṁ (pts) | antakiriyāyāti → antakiriyāyā-ti (pts)
In this way the holy life is lived in mutual dependence, for the purpose of crossing over the flood, for making a right end to stress.”

Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Sāgārā anagārā ca, ubho aññoññanissitā;
anagārā → anāgārā (sya-all, pts) | Sāgārā → sagārā, B. C. D. E. (pts note) | anāgārā → anag-, C. M. (pts note) | ca → D. E. P. Pa. have the ca before anāg-. (pts note)
Householders & the homeless in mutual dependence
Ārādhayanti saddhammaṁ, yogakkhemaṁ anuttaraṁ.
ārādhayanti → ārāmayanti, C. (pts note) yogakkhemam-anuttaraṁ → I follow D. E. M. and A.; B. C. P. Pa. have yogakkhemassa pattiyā. (pts note)
both reach the true Dhamma: the unsurpassed safety from bondage.

Sāgāresu ca cīvaraṁ, paccayaṁ sayanāsanaṁ;
Sāgāresu → sagār-, B.; sāgar-, D. E. (pts note)
From householders, the homeless receive requisites:
Anagārā paṭicchanti, parissayavinodanaṁ.
anagārā → anāgārā (bj, sya-all, pts) | anāgārā → anag-, M.; anāgāraṁ, B. (pts note) parissayavinodanaṁ → apariss-, B.; parissayantivin-, D. E.; sarisassavin-, C.; A. has: parissayavinodanan-ti utuparissayādiparissayagahaṇaṁ vihārādi āvasataṁ. (pts note)
robes, lodgings, protection from inclemencies.

Sugataṁ pana nissāya, gahaṭṭhā gharamesino;
Sugataṁ → puggalaṁ (mr) | Sugataṁ → puggalaṁ (cck: sī. ka.) | Sugataṁ → sugataṁ, D. E. Aa. (I am not quite sure about the reading of P. and Pa.); puggalaṁ, M.; saddhammaṁ, B. C.; the MS. of A. is corrupt here, it comments also on puggalaṁ, the last words of the comment being sāvako hi idha puggalo hi (sic !) adhippeto. (pts note) gahaṭṭhā → gharaṭṭhā, P. Pa. (pts note) | gharamesino → gharam-esino (pts)
While in dependence on those well-gone, home-loving householders
Saddahānā arahataṁ, ariyapaññāya jhāyino.
saddahānā → saddahānā, D. E.; saddahāno, B. C. M. P. Pa. and Aa. (pts note) ariyapaññāya → -paññāca, D. E.; dhammasaññāya, B.; dhammaṁs-, C. (pts note)
have conviction in Arahants of noble discernment, absorbed in jhāna.

Idha dhammaṁ caritvāna, maggaṁ sugatigāminaṁ;
maggaṁ → saggaṁ, C. (pts note)
Having practiced the Dhamma here– the path leading to good destinations–
Nandino devalokasmiṁ, modanti kāmakāmino”ti.
kāmakāminoti → kāmakāmino (pts)
delighting in the deva world, they rejoice, enjoying sensual pleasures.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.

Aṭṭhamaṁ.
