CūḷasīhanādasuttaThe Shorter Lion’s Roar Discourse

Evaṁ me sutaṁ—
paṭhamo → gāthāyo panetā sabbattha vyākulā dissanti (bj note) | pe → spelled out in full (bjt) | evaṁ me → evamme (th) | evaṁ me → evam-me (pts)
I have heard
ekaṁ samayaṁ bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying near Sāvatthī in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's monastery. Tatra kho bhagavā bhikkhū āmantesi:There he addressed the monks: “bhikkhavo”ti.
bhikkhavoti → bhikkhavo ti (pts)
“Monks!”

“Bhadante”ti te bhikkhū bhagavato paccassosuṁ.
bhadanteti → bhadante ti (pts)
“Yes, lord,” the monks responded to him.
Bhagavā etadavoca:
etadavoca → etad-avoca (pts)
The Blessed One said,

“Idheva, bhikkhave, samaṇo, idha dutiyo samaṇo, idha tatiyo samaṇo, idha catuttho samaṇo;
idheva → idh eva (pts)
“Monks, ‘Right here there is the contemplative, here there is the contemplative of the second order, here there is the contemplative of the third order, here there is the contemplative of the fourth order.
suññā parappavādā samaṇebhi aññehīti.
samaṇebhi aññehīti → samaṇehi aññeti (bj, pts1ed, mr); samaṇehi aññebhīti (sya-all) | samaṇebhi aññehīti evametaṁ → samaṇehi aññeti evameva (bj); samaṇehi aññebhīti evameva (sya-all) | aññeti → aññehīti (bj: syā, machasaṁ) | aññehīti → samaṇehi aññeti (sī. pī. ka.) ettha aññehīti sakāya paṭiññāya saccābhiññehīti attho veditabbo (cck note)
Other teachings are empty of knowledgeable contemplatives’:
Evametaṁ, bhikkhave, sammā sīhanādaṁ nadatha.
Evametaṁ → evameva (bj, sya-all, mr) | evameva → evamevaṁ (bj: sīmu9) | Evametaṁ → evameva (cck: syā. ka.) | evametaṁ → evam-etaṁ (pts)
Thus you rightly roar a lion’s roar.

‘But what is your assurance, what is your strength, on the basis of which, seeing it within yourselves, you venerable ones say,
idheva samaṇo, idha dutiyo samaṇo, idha tatiyo samaṇo, idha catuttho samaṇo;
idheva → idh eva (pts)
“Right here there is the contemplative, here there is the contemplative of the second order, here there is the contemplative of the third order, here there is the contemplative of the fourth order.

Cattārimāni, bhikkhave, upādānāni.

They describe the comprehension of sensuality clinging and view clinging, but not the comprehension of habit-&-practice clinging or doctrine-of-self clinging.

Santi, bhikkhave, eke samaṇabrāhmaṇā sabbupādānapariññāvādā paṭijānamānā.

“There are some contemplatives & brahmans who, though claiming doctrines that comprehend all types of clinging,

imañhi → imaṁ hi (bjt, th, pts) | nappajānanti → na-ppajānanti (pts)
Because these contemplatives & brahmans don’t discern that one instance as it has come to be.
Tasmā te bhonto samaṇabrāhmaṇā sabbupādānapariññāvādā paṭijānamānā;

evañhetaṁ → evaṁ hetaṁ (bjt) | yathā taṁ → yathātaṁ (th) | evañhetaṁ → evaṁ h etaṁ (pts)
Because that’s how it is, monks, in a poorly proclaimed doctrine & discipline—poorly expounded, not leading out, not leading to calm, expounded by one not rightly self-awakened.

The six sense media have name-&-form as their cause, name-&-form as their origination, name-&-form as their birth, name-&-form as their coming-into-existence.

“Now, when ignorance has been abandoned and clear-knowing has arisen in a monk, then from dispassion for ignorance and from the arising of clear-knowing, he clings neither to sensuality clinging, to view clinging, to habit-&-practice clinging, nor to doctrine-of-self clinging.
Anupādiyaṁ na paritassati, aparitassaṁ paccattaññeva parinibbāyati.
