Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:

“Caraṁ vā yadi vā tiṭṭhaṁ, nisinno uda vā sayaṁ;
uda vā → udavā (th, pts)
Whether walking, standing, sitting, or lying down,
Yo vitakkaṁ vitakketi, pāpakaṁ gehanissitaṁ.whoever thinks evil thoughts, related to the household life,

He’s incapable, a monk like this, of touching superlative self-awakening.

ca caraṁ vā tiṭṭhaṁ vā → yo caraṁ vātha tiṭṭhaṁ vā (bj, mr); yo caraṁ vā yadi vā tiṭṭhaṁ (sya-all); yo caraṁ vā yo tiṭṭhaṁ vā (pts-vp-pli1) | ca → (bj, sya-all, pts) | vā → vātha (bj); vā yadi vā (sya-all); vā yo (pts) | vā → yo caraṁ vā yadi vā tiṭṭhaṁ (cck: syā.); yo caraṁ vātha tiṭṭhaṁ vā (cck: sī. ka.) | caraṁ → jaram, C. (pts note) | yo → ta, M.; om. Pa.; D. E. have: Yo paraṁ yadi vā tiṭṭhaṁ. (pts note) uda vā → udavā (th, pts)
But whoever– walking, standing, sitting, or lying down–
Vitakkaṁ samayitvāna, vitakkūpasame rato;
samayitvāna → samayitvāna, D. E. M. (= vupasametvā, A.); samasitvāna, P. Pa; sammasitvāna, B. C. (pts note) vitakkūpasame → vitakkopasame (pts) | vitakkopasame → -opassame, P. Pa.; -ūpasame, D. E. (pts note)
overcomes thought, delighting in the stilling of thought:
Bhabbo so tādiso bhikkhu, phuṭṭhuṁ sambodhimuttaman”ti.
so → samo so, D. E. (pts note) phuṭṭhuṁ → phuṭṭhuṁ, M.; the other MSS. have phuṭṭhaṁ (pu-, D. E.); cp. sutt. 34, 79, 80. (pts note) | sambodhimuttamanti → sambodhim (pts)
he’s capable, a monk like this, of touching superlative self-awakening.

Ayampi attho vutto bhagavatā, iti me sutanti.
