38. SannidhikārakasikkhāpadaEating stored food
Tena samayena buddho bhagavā sāvatthiyaṁ viharati jetavane anāthapiṇḍikassa ārāme.At one time the Buddha was staying at Sāvatthī in the Jeta Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika’s Monastery.
Tena kho pana samayena āyasmato ānandassa upajjhāyo āyasmā belaṭṭhasīso araññe viharati.
belaṭṭhasīso → bellaṭṭhisīso (bj); belaṭṭhisīso (si); veḷaṭṭhasīso (sya-all) | bellaṭṭhisīso → belaṭṭhasīso (bj: machasaṁ); belaṭṭhisīso (bj: sīmu) | belaṭṭhasīso → belaṭṭhisīso (cck: sī.); veḷaṭṭhasīso (cck: syā.) | veḷaṭṭhasīso → belaṭṭhasīso (sya-all: yu. ma.)At that time Venerable Belaṭṭhasīsa, Venerable Ānanda’s preceptor, was staying in the wilderness.
So piṇḍāya caritvā sukkhakuraṁ ārāmaṁ haritvā sukkhāpetvā nikkhipati.
sukkhakuraṁ → sukkhakūraṁ (pts)After walking for alms, he brought plain cooked rice back to the monastery where he dried and stored it.
Yadā āhārena attho hoti, tadā udakena temetvā temetvā bhuñjati, cirena gāmaṁ piṇḍāya pavisati.
bhuñjati → paribhuñjati (bj) | temetvā → (sya-all, pts) | paribhuñjati → bhuñjati (bj: machasaṁ)Whenever he got hungry, he moistened and ate it. As a result, he only went the village for alms after a long time.
Bhikkhū āyasmantaṁ belaṭṭhasīsaṁ etadavocuṁ—
belaṭṭhasīsaṁ → veḷaṭṭhasīsaṁ (sya-all)The monks asked him,
“kissa tvaṁ, āvuso, cirena gāmaṁ piṇḍāya pavisasī”ti?
kissa → kissa tvaṁ āvuso cire (bj: machasaṁ)“Why do you only go for alms after such a long time?”
Atha kho āyasmā belaṭṭhasīso bhikkhūnaṁ etamatthaṁ ārocesi.
belaṭṭhasīso → bellaṭṭhisīso (bj); veḷaṭṭhasīso (sya-all)And he told them.
“Kiṁ pana tvaṁ, āvuso, sannidhikārakaṁ bhojanaṁ bhuñjasī”ti?“But do you eat food that you’ve stored?”
Ye te bhikkhū appicchā …pe… te ujjhāyanti khiyyanti vipācenti—
khiyyanti → khīyanti (bj, sya-all)The monks of few desires complained and criticized him,
“kathañhi nāma āyasmā belaṭṭhasīso sannidhikārakaṁ bhojanaṁ bhuñjissatī”ti …pe…
belaṭṭhasīso → bellaṭṭhisīso (bj); veḷaṭṭhasīso (sya-all) | bhuñjissatīti → bhuñjissati (bj)“How can Venerable Belaṭṭhasīsa eat food that he has stored?” …
“saccaṁ kira tvaṁ, belaṭṭhasīsa, sannidhikārakaṁ bhojanaṁ bhuñjasī”ti?
belaṭṭhasīsa → bellaṭṭhisīsa (bj); veḷaṭṭhasīsa (sya-all) | sannidhikārakaṁ bhojanaṁ → (pts)“Is it true, Belaṭṭhasīsa, that you do this?”
“Saccaṁ, bhagavā”ti.“It’s true, sir.”
Vigarahi buddho bhagavā …pe…The Buddha rebuked him …
kathañhi nāma tvaṁ, belaṭṭhasīsa, sannidhikārakaṁ bhojanaṁ bhuñjissasi.
belaṭṭhasīsa → bellaṭṭhisīsa (bj); veḷaṭṭhasīsa (sya-all)“Belaṭṭhasīsa, how can you do this?
Netaṁ, belaṭṭhasīsa, appasannānaṁ vā pasādāya …pe…
belaṭṭhasīsa → bellaṭṭhisīsa (bj); veḷaṭṭhasīsa (sya-all) | pasādāya → pasādāya pasannānaṁ vā bhiyyobhāvāya (sya-all)This will affect people’s confidence …” …
evañca pana, bhikkhave, imaṁ sikkhāpadaṁ uddiseyyātha—“And, monks, this training rule should be recited like this:
“Yo pana bhikkhu sannidhikārakaṁ khādanīyaṁ vā bhojanīyaṁ vā khādeyya vā bhuñjeyya vā, pācittiyan”ti.‘If a monk eats fresh or cooked food that he has stored, he commits an offense entailing confession.’”
- Yo panātiA:
- yo yādiso …pe…whoever …
- bhikkhūtiMonk:
- …pe… ayaṁ imasmiṁ atthe adhippeto bhikkhūti.… The monk who has been given the full ordination by a unanimous Sangha through a legal procedure consisting of one motion and three announcements that is irreversible and fit to stand—this sort of monk is meant in this case.
- Sannidhikārakaṁ nāmaThat he has stored:
- ajja paṭiggahitaṁ aparajju khāditaṁ hoti.
khāditaṁ hoti → (bj) | aparajju → aparajja (sya-all) | aparajju → aparajju khāditaṁ hoti (bj: machasaṁ)received today and eaten on the following day. - Khādanīyaṁ nāmaFresh food:
- pañca bhojanāni—yāmakālikaṁ sattāhakālikaṁ yāvajīvikaṁ ṭhapetvā avasesaṁ khādanīyaṁ nāma.apart from the five cooked foods, the post-midday tonics, the seven-day tonics, and the lifetime tonics, the rest is called “fresh food”.
- Bhojanīyaṁ nāmaCooked food:
- pañca bhojanāni—odano, kummāso, sattu, maccho, maṁsaṁ.there are five kinds of cooked food: cooked grain, porridge, flour products, fish, and meat.
“Khādissāmi bhuñjissāmī”ti paṭiggaṇhāti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
paṭiggaṇhāti → patigaṇhāti (bj)If he receives fresh or cooked food with the intention of eating it, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Ajjhohāre ajjhohāre āpatti pācittiyassa.For every mouthful swallowed, he commits an offense entailing confession.
Sannidhikārake sannidhikārakasaññī khādanīyaṁ vā bhojanīyaṁ vā khādati vā bhuñjati vā, āpatti pācittiyassa.If it has been stored, and he perceives that it has, and he eats the fresh or cooked food, he commits an offense entailing confession. Sannidhikārake vematiko khādanīyaṁ vā bhojanīyaṁ vā khādati vā bhuñjati vā, āpatti pācittiyassa.If it has been stored, but he is unsure of it, and he eats the fresh or cooked food, he commits an offense entailing confession. Sannidhikārake asannidhikārakasaññī khādanīyaṁ vā bhojanīyaṁ vā khādati vā bhuñjati vā, āpatti pācittiyassa.If it has been stored, but he does not perceive that it has, and he eats the fresh or cooked food, he commits an offense entailing confession.
Yāmakālikaṁ sattāhakālikaṁ yāvajīvikaṁ āhāratthāya paṭiggaṇhāti, āpatti dukkaṭassa.
paṭiggaṇhāti → patigaṇhāti (bj)If he receives post-midday tonics, seven-day tonics, or lifetime tonics for the purpose of food, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Ajjhohāre ajjhohāre āpatti dukkaṭassa.For every mouthful swallowed, he commits an offense of wrong conduct.
Asannidhikārake sannidhikārakasaññī, āpatti dukkaṭassa.If it has not been stored, but he perceives that it has, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. Asannidhikārake vematiko, āpatti dukkaṭassa.If it has not been stored, but he is unsure of it, he commits an offense of wrong conduct. Asannidhikārake asannidhikārakasaññī, anāpatti.If it has not been stored, and he does not perceive that it has, there is no offense.
Anāpatti—There is no offense: yāvakālikaṁ yāvakāle nidahitvā bhuñjati,if he both stores and eats it during the right time; yāmakālikaṁ yāme nidahitvā bhuñjati,if he both stores and eats post-midday tonics during the remainder of the day; sattāhakālikaṁ sattāhaṁ nidahitvā bhuñjati,if he both stores and eats seven-day tonics during the seven-day period; yāvajīvikaṁ sati paccaye paribhuñjati,if he uses lifetime tonics when there is a reason; ummattakassa,if he is insane; ādikammikassāti.if he is the first offender.
Sannidhikārakasikkhāpadaṁ niṭṭhitaṁ aṭṭhamaṁ.
