Avuṭṭhikasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Tayome, bhikkhave, puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmiṁ.“Monks, these three types of persons can be found existing in the world. Katame tayo?Which three? Avuṭṭhikasamo, padesavassī, sabbatthābhivassī.One like a cloud without rain, one who rains locally, and one who rains everywhere.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo avuṭṭhikasamo hoti?
hoti → idaṁ padaṁ sya-all potthakesu“And how is a person like a cloud without rain?
Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo sabbesaññeva na dātā hoti, samaṇabrāhmaṇakapaṇaddhikavanibbakayācakānaṁ annaṁ pānaṁ vatthaṁ yānaṁ mālāgandhavilepanaṁ seyyāvasathapadīpeyyaṁ.
samaṇabrāhmaṇakapaṇaddhikavanibbakayācakānaṁ → … vaṇibbakayācakānaṁ (bj)There is the case where a person is not a giver of food, drink, clothing, vehicles,
garlands, scents, ointments, beds, dwellings, or lights to anyone at all:
to contemplatives or brahmans, to any of the miserable, the homeless, or beggars.
Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo avuṭṭhikasamo hoti.This is how a person is like a cloud without rain.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo padesavassī hoti?“And how is a person one who rains locally? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo ekaccānaṁ dātā hoti, ekaccānaṁ na dātā hoti samaṇabrāhmaṇakapaṇaddhikavanibbakayācakānaṁ annaṁ pānaṁ vatthaṁ yānaṁ mālāgandhavilepanaṁ seyyāvasathapadīpeyyaṁ.There is the case where a person is a giver of food, drink, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scents, ointments, beds, dwellings, & lights to some contemplatives & brahmans, to some of the miserable, the homeless, & beggars, but not to others. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo padesavassī hoti.This is how a person is one who rains locally.
Kathañca, bhikkhave, puggalo sabbatthābhivassī hoti?“And how is a person one who rains everywhere? Idha, bhikkhave, ekacco puggalo sabbesaṁva deti, samaṇabrāhmaṇakapaṇaddhikavanibbakayācakānaṁ annaṁ pānaṁ vatthaṁ yānaṁ mālāgandhavilepanaṁ seyyāvasathapadīpeyyaṁ.There is the case where a person gives food, drink, clothing, vehicles, garlands, scents, ointments, beds, dwellings, & lights to all contemplatives & brahmans, to all of the miserable, the homeless, & beggars. Evaṁ kho, bhikkhave, puggalo sabbatthābhivassī hoti.This is how a person is one who rains everywhere. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo puggalā santo saṁvijjamānā lokasmin”ti.“These are the three types of persons who can be found existing in the world.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Na samaṇe na brāhmaṇe, na kapaṇaddhikavanibbake;Not to contemplatives, to brahmans, to the miserable, nor to the homeless Laddhāna saṁvibhājeti, annaṁ pānañca bhojanaṁ;does he share what he’s gained: food, drinks, nourishment. Taṁ ve avuṭṭhikasamoti, āhu naṁ purisādhamaṁ.He, that lowest of people, is called a cloud with no rain.
Ekaccānaṁ na dadāti, ekaccānaṁ pavecchati;To some he doesn’t give, to others he does: Taṁ ve padesavassīti, āhu medhāvino janā.the intelligent call him one who rains locally.
Subhikkhavāco puriso, sabbabhūtānukampako;A person responsive to requests, sympathetic to all beings, Āmodamāno pakireti, detha dethāti bhāsati.delighting in distributing alms: “Give to them! Give!” he says.
Yathāpi megho thanayitvā, gajjayitvā pavassati;As a cloud–resounding, thundering–rains, Thalaṁ ninnañca pūreti, abhisandantova vārinā.
abhisandantova → abhisandanto ca (sya-all); abhisandanto (pts-vp-pli1); abhisandentova (?)filling with water, drenching the plateaus & gullies:Evamevaṁ idhekacco, puggalo hoti tādiso;a person like this is like that. Dhammena saṁharitvāna, uṭṭhānādhigataṁ dhanaṁ;Having rightly amassed wealth attained through initiative, Tappeti annapānena, sammā patte vanibbake”ti.he satisfies rightly with food & drink those fallen into the homeless state.
