Antarāmalasutta
Vuttañhetaṁ bhagavatā vuttamarahatāti me sutaṁ:This was said by the Blessed One, said by the Arahant, so I have heard:
“Tayome, bhikkhave, antarāmalā antarāamittā antarāsapattā antarāvadhakā antarāpaccatthikā.“Monks, there are these three inside stains, inside enemies, inside foes, inside murderers, inside adversaries. Katame tayo?Which three? Lobho, bhikkhave, antarāmalo antarāamitto antarāsapatto antarāvadhako antarāpaccatthiko.Greed is an inside stain, inside enemy, inside foe, inside murderer, inside adversary. Doso, bhikkhave, antarāmalo antarāamitto antarāsapatto antarāvadhako antarāpaccatthiko.Aversion is an inside stain.… Moho, bhikkhave, antarāmalo antarāamitto antarāsapatto antarāvadhako antarāpaccatthiko.Delusion is an inside stain, inside enemy, inside foe, inside murderer, inside adversary. Ime kho, bhikkhave, tayo antarāmalā antarāamittā antarāsapattā antarāvadhakā antarāpaccatthikā”ti.These are the three inside stains, inside enemies, inside foes, inside murderers, inside adversaries.”
Etamatthaṁ bhagavā avoca. Tatthetaṁ iti vuccati:
“Anatthajanano lobho, lobho cittappakopano;Greed causes harm. greed provokes the mind. Bhayamantarato jātaṁ, taṁ jano nāvabujjhati.People don’t realize it as a danger born from within.
Luddho atthaṁ na jānāti, luddho dhammaṁ na passati;A person, when greedy, doesn’t know his own welfare; when greedy, doesn’t see Dhamma. Andhatamaṁ tadā hoti, yaṁ lobho sahate naraṁ.
Andhatamaṁ → andhantamaṁ (bj); andhaṁ tamaṁ (pts-vp-pli1)Overcome with greed, he’s in the dark, blind.Yo ca lobhaṁ pahantvāna, lobhaneyye na lubbhati;But when one, abandoning greed, feels no greed for what would merit greed, Lobho pahīyate tamhā, udabindūva pokkharā.greed gets shed from him– like a drop of water off a lotus leaf.
Anatthajanano doso, doso cittappakopano;Aversion causes harm. aversion provokes the mind. Bhayamantarato jātaṁ, taṁ jano nāvabujjhati.People don’t realize it as a danger born from within.
Duṭṭho atthaṁ na jānāti, duṭṭho dhammaṁ na passati;A person, when aversive, doesn’t know his own welfare; when aversive, doesn’t see Dhamma. Andhatamaṁ tadā hoti, yaṁ doso sahate naraṁ.Overcome with aversion he’s in the dark, blind.
Yo ca dosaṁ pahantvāna, dosaneyye na dussati;But when one, abandoning aversion, feels no aversion for what would merit aversion, Doso pahīyate tamhā, tālapakkaṁva bandhanā.aversion drops away from him– like a palm leaf from its stem.
Anatthajanano moho, moho cittappakopano;Delusion causes harm. delusion provokes the mind. Bhayamantarato jātaṁ, taṁ jano nāvabujjhati.People don’t realize it as a danger born from within.
Mūḷho atthaṁ na jānāti, mūḷho dhammaṁ na passati;A person, when deluded, doesn’t know his own welfare; when deluded, doesn’t see Dhamma. Andhatamaṁ tadā hoti, yaṁ moho sahate naraṁ.Overcome with delusion he’s in the dark, blind.
Yo ca mohaṁ pahantvāna, mohaneyye na muyhati;But when one, abandoning delusion, feels no delusion for what would merit delusion, Mohaṁ vihanti so sabbaṁ, ādiccovudayaṁ taman”ti.he disperses all delusion– as the rising of the sun, the dark.
